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 cheerful, whimsical journey through a silly dystopia where puzzles and quirky characters keep the tone light and fun.

What players say

Players describe Pikuniku as a short, charming game that mixes silly humor with a sharp critique of corporate greed. It takes about three hours to finish. Some find the physics a bit janky and the $13 price steep for the length, but most say it is fun and worth it on sale.
