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 sneaky, whimsical adventure where you play as a bumbling anti-hero gathering seeds and disguises to outwit robots in a pixel-art dystopia.

What players say

Players praise the quirky steath-farming concept and charming art style, but warn that the game is short at around 10 levels and gets very hard, especially on harder difficulties. Some find the controls floaty and frustrating, while others note development has stopped with no future updates.
