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 lighthearted, chaotic race against time as raccoon thieves wash and teleport stolen goods while dodging a homeowner.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy it as a short, free co-op distraction with friends, while others dismiss it as a limited student project. Crashes and confusing early gameplay are common complaints.
