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, high-energy party game where up to eight players compete in absurd, music-driven minigames that are easy to pick up but tricky to master.

What players say

Players praise the soundtrack but the online multiplayer is broken: half the time they cannot move, making it unplayable with friends. Controller users fare better than keyboard and mouse.
