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

Players feel the pressure of defusing bombs together where each person holds only a fragment of the full picture, forcing careful talk and quick group decisions.

What players say

Players say it is a fun co-op party game that requires 2-4 players using phones as controllers. The puzzles are played in the same order each time and some rounds cannot be skipped, which limits replay value.
