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 guide Santa around a Christmas tree as he auto-aims and shoots snowballs at thieving snowmen, a simple and relaxing top-down shooter.

What players say

Players say this is a casual Christmas game where Santa auto-shoots snowmen who never fight back. The early game is easy, but waves get larger and demand light strategy. Reviewers note a lack of level variety.
