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 slapstick multiplayer scramble where every construction job turns into a chaotic test of coordination and friendship.

What players say

Players call it chaotic co-op fun best shared with friends, though the whole game is only three levels that can be finished in under two hours, so many say the replay value is not there. Controls and physics are intentionally janky, which some find hilarious and others find frustrating, and a few report voice chat and mic detection problems.
