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

Unwinding as you methodically blast away dirt with the satisfying hiss of high-pressure water, chores become a calm, meditative flow.

What players say

Players find it deeply relaxing and satisfying to clean dirt off everything, with a surprising amount of content and a strange story told through text. Some are frustrated that progress in co-op doesn't count toward solo campaigns, and that reaching full achievement completion requires paid DLC.
