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 say it is a cheap physics sandbox where the building is fun with friends but becomes tedious due to a clunky interface and missing keyboard shortcuts. The game has only a handful of singleplayer levels and the multiplayer is dead, as the developer stopped updating it in 2016.
