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

Playing with friends in a silly, low-stakes scramble to sort trash feels like a playful and educational teamwork challenge with a cartoonish post-apocalyptic backdrop.

What players say

Players praise the colorful co-op action but warn that solo play is unbalanced and controls are confusing. Remote Play Together has latency and input problems. Many players support the Ukrainian teenage developers but agree the game needs polish.
