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 chaotic mix of bowling, tower defense, and arcade racing where you roll a boulder through historical art while opponents try to stop you, with a lighthearted and absurd tone.

What players say

Players love the absurd humor and unique blend of bowling and tower defense, but warn the singleplayer campaign is easy because the AI struggles. The fun is best enjoyed alone, as the multiplayer is dead. Some players find the ballista attacks unfairly strong against the player but weak when the player uses them.
