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 frantic, colorful renovation party where you and friends race against the clock, laughing and yelling as you throw paint and tiles across the rooms.

What players say

Players call this a fun but short co-op game best played with a partner or friends, with many finishing the main campaign in around five hours. Opinions split on the controls and depth of fun, with some finding it clumsy or repetitive, while others appreciate its more relaxed tone compared to Overcooked. DLC is recommended for added variety.
