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 chaotic, absurdly violent action romp through a clown-themed nightmare, blending gory slapstick with a jokey, irreverent tone.

What players say

Players call it a rough, barebones horror-comedy platformer with clunky controls, no checkpoints, and no tutorial. Some praise the creepy art style and low price, while others find the trial-and-error frustration and a progress-blocking bug too much. The community is divided on whether the jank is charming or broken.
