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 lighthearted, click-driven arcade adventure with cartoonish food battles and playful tension from navigating themed dungeons to rescue a princess.

What players say

Players praise the unique dual-control mechanic, keyboard for the octopus, mouse for the swordfish, and find it easy to learn but challenging to master. The pixel art, music, and food puns get consistent love, though some note the mussel boss drags. An autoclicker is available for comfort, and hard mode adds story scenes.
