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 play as a robot vacuum cleaner frantically setting traps and cleaning up blood before the homeowners return, blending slapstick chaos with tense stealth.

What players say

Players describe Roombo as a very short, hilarious concept game where a robot vacuum kills burglars and cleans up the blood. Many say it feels like a student project with repetitive gameplay, clunky controls, and some bugs. Players agree that paying full price is not worth it and that the sequel, Justice Sucks, does everything better.
