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 fly and bark as a pixel dachshund, learning which space foods are safe through playful trial and error.

What players say

Players finish the game in 10 to 15 minutes and mostly call it cute but far too short, with several saying it should be free or that the trailer oversells it. The casino level is widely singled out as tedious, and a few reviewers compare it unfavorably to the creator's older free game.
