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

You sprint desperately across sandy beaches as towering tsunamis chase you, each level ratcheting up the danger and urgency.

What players say

Players warn this is an asset flip that breaks after level 18, leaving you stuck in a loop. Some find it a silly, fun runner for a few minutes, but most call it a cash grab with glitches and monotonous level design.
