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.

You control a teddy bear in a silly football match with slide and vault moves, feeling like a playful, low-pressure arcade game.

What players say

Players find Bear Football hilarious and life-changing, with a memorable bear NPC and glitches that make the game better. Most reviews are jokes, but a few note multiplayer has been broken for years.
