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 action game where you blow up stress-inducing objects in silly everyday scenes for a cathartic, high-score-driven frenzy.

What players say

Players love it for cathartic destruction and the surprising depth of its clover challenges and hidden cats, but many find the default controls awkward and wish for rebinding. The short stages and physics-based chaos keep it light, though the underlying heavy themes can catch you off guard.
