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 lighthearted top-down heist game where you grab loot with stealthy power-ups while avoiding police, with escalating difficulty each night.

What players say

Players describe it as a short casual time waster with simple controls, but many find the gameplay bland and repetitive, and the movement clunky. Later levels are brutally difficult and sometimes rely on luck.
