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 short, repetitive arcade game where the cute premise of petting a hedgehog is undercut by a gentle, persistent sense of irritation.

About

Hedgehogs are cute, that is for sure, but they are also a little spikey. We all want to stroke one, but in reality it will leave you feeling a little damaged, here though, their spikes are nice and soft, well not really, they will still hurt. At least you can deal with the not so real pain though. Get stroking!
