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.

What players say

Players love the two-player couch co-op where one builds and the other defends, with a cute art style and satisfying core loop. However, the game is controller-only with no keyboard and mouse support, and many find the controls confusing and the tutorial lacking. The length is about 15 minutes, and players split on whether it has enough content.
