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, team-driven scramble to coordinate rescues amid cheerful cartoon disasters.

What players say

Players call it a chaotic co-op game like Overcooked, but with rescue themes. Many praise the fun with friends, while a language bug forces Chinese menus for some. Performance takes a hit on later maps, and the patient AI behaves erratically. The campaign is short at around 5-8 hours.
