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 lighthearted and whimsical arcade experience where you guide potatoes through silly obstacles with simple mouse controls.

What players say

Players praise the cute art and music but universally call out the extremely difficult and unpredictable controls. The game is a short, physics-based platformer that many find frustrating rather than relaxing, and some note the double-click mechanic is unreliable. Players split on whether it is worth the frustration for laughs or a total waste.
