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

You fumble through a physics playground where every movement is awkward and funny, but danger and dismemberment keep the tension high.

What players say

Players consistently call this abandoned and unfinished, with too little content and no updates after release. A few admire the physics and potential, but most say it is not a complete game. Multiplayer has known bugs that were never fixed.
