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 chill, whimsical pixel-art island stroll where you gently collect alien creatures and quirky treasures.

What players say

Players describe Xoo as a laid-back collectathon focused on exploration and quirky writing, but some find the RNG-driven progression and repetition tedious by the end. It is often compared to the developer's free games, which some consider stronger.
