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 co-op scramble where you fling and swing your teammates as living tools through dangerous caves, balancing slapstick chaos with the pressure of survival.

What players say

Players love throwing friends around as tools in this physics-based co-op game, but split on its difficulty: some find the monsters and timing too punishing, while others appreciate the chaotic fun. Performance can be rough on older machines, and controller support is not fully finished.
