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 zany, comic-book adventure where you slice and shape the world with physics toys in a brief, desert romp.

What players say

Players praise its unique laser-cutting physics that still feels fresh years later, but they are split on whether the novelty carries the short 3-5 hour experience or if it ends up samey.
