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, retro-futuristic physics-driven rescue mission where you frantically command AI followers, blast through terrain, and jetpack across alien moons.

What players say

Players are sharply divided. Many denounce the developer for replacing original art with AI-generated assets and for defensive behavior, while a few defend the game's creativity. Those who focus on gameplay call it a Lemmings-like with clumsy companion AI, a notable difficulty spike on mission 20, and a grindy star system that gates progress.
