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 low-pressure, thoughtful golfing experience where you carefully survey the course before shaping each precise, mouse-guided shot.

What players say

Players praise the mouse swing mechanics, randomly generated courses, and a steep but rewarding difficulty, comparing it favorably to PGA 2K. The game is bare bones with limited customization and a few performance crashes, but an active developer and the low price keep sentiment positive.
