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 frantic, joyful scramble where up to four players wriggle and bop each other through colorful, ever-changing races to grab a present first.

What players say

Players treat it as a quick local party game best with three or four people, but warn that the procedurally generated levels feel repetitive after a short time and there are no CPU bots, so it is unplayable solo.
