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 colorful, whimsical adventure where you play as a bug exploring a stylized fantasy world, gathering silly items like pencils and teaspoons, with challenging combat and a relaxed, customizable progression.

What players say

Players enjoy the cute bug world and Sokpop charm, but call the game short and rough. They split on bugs and balance: some see it as endearing indie slop, others find the parry system and a major XP exploit frustrating.
