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, surreal race against the clock where you awkwardly fling a spoon into a bowl of oatmeal, blending goofy physics with an oddly tense atmosphere.

What players say

Players joke about the janky, shaky spoon controls and call it a 'parkinsons simulator' or 'the dark souls of oatmeal eating simulators.' A few complain that level 8 is unplayable due to the oatmeal clipping through the spoon, and some feel the 5 dollar price is too high for what amounts to a quick laughing matter.
