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, laughter-focused party game where players compete to write the funniest punchlines and vote on the best jokes using their phones as controllers.

What players say

Players say it is a hilarious party game that often replaces Jackbox for group nights, especially since friends can join without buying it. Some find the four prompt types repetitive after a few sessions and wish for more variety, and there is no Steam Deck support.
