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 nostalgic arcade collection where you earn credits by doing simple chores, then test your skills on physics-based mini-games.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the lighthearted arcade simulation with its pig collectable and coin pusher game Over the Edge, while others call it an amateurish shovelware title with borrowed assets and no ambition.
