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, fast-paced arcade game where you dodge hazards and scavenge for food as a cute pixel dog.

What players say

Players are split on whether the difficulty is satisfying or frustrating. The hunger meter that punishes you for engaging with core mechanics is a common sore point, while the campaign's 36 stages and the arcade mode keep fans coming back. The pixel art and absurd premise of subway dogs stealing food get near-universal praise.
