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 darkly humorous power fantasy where you command a chaotic horde of minions, balancing destructive urges with strategic choices that shape a twisted, reactive world.

What players say

Players love this darkly comedic Pikmin-like where you control mischievous minions to wreak havoc instead of saving the kingdom. The humor and charm carry the experience, though many note the controls feel clunky and the bosses are on the easy side.
