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.

What players say

Players describe Bob Was Hungry as Super Meat Boy in 3D with simple controls and a cute, colorful look, but they also say its difficulty is merciless. The game forces a full restart on any death, which many find frustrating, though co-op and competitive play with friends are highlights. Opinions split between those who love the challenge and those who just find it rage-inducing.
