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 play a trash-collector who mischievously dumps plastic into waterways, learning about pollution through ironic gameplay that feels lighthearted and gently satirical.

What players say

Players like the original concept and tight controls, but find the game too short and shallow at its price. The five-minute rounds of tossing trash into waterways feel repetitive quickly, and the multiplayer is reportedly empty. A few call the game a fun way to think about pollution.
