The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A chaotic sandbox where you cause mayhem in a fully destructible city with silly vehicles and props.

What players say

Players enjoy the idea of a physics-driven destruction sandbox, but the fun fades fast. Many say the game is extremely short, beatable in under an hour, and feels unfinished or abandoned. Performance problems like lag and crashes are widely reported, and some recommend Teardown instead.
