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, satirical infinite runner where you control a cartoonish villain sprinting through absurd political obstacles with frantic platforming and shooting.

What players say

Players call this an addictive endless runner with a sharp political satire about Brexit and UK politics. They praise the unlockable characters, like Maggie Thatcher in a coffin go-kart, and the challenge of staying focused while laughing at the background details. The game has lasting appeal through leaderboard competition and a 5-25 hour playtime for upgrades and achievements.
