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

You drive through a bright, dreamlike open world as an orangutan collecting bananas, with a slightly challenging but playful feel.

What players say

Players describe it as an absurd, existential jaunt that avoids clear goals, but opinions split on whether the vagueness is appealing or just frustrating. It is short and a few bugs are noted for such a recent release.
