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 tense but silly stealth game where you frantically avoid cute penguins while giggling at cruel jokes.

What players say

Players say this is a short, comedic chase game where you escape from weapon-wielding penguins. The horror is light, the music turns pop when you are spotted, and catching a penguin feels funny rather than scary. The game has four difficulty levels that unlock story bits, and most finish everything in 1–3 hours. Some wish for more content at the asking price.
