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 frantic game of hide-and-seek where mice scramble for food while cats hunt them, all in a cartoonish, minimalist world.

What players say

Players call this a fun group-party game and compare it to Stickfight or Gang Beasts, but say you must bring your own friends because public lobbies are empty. Some praise the physics and jump scares, while others criticize lack of maps, no achievements, camera sensitivity options, and a few find the developer's mockery off-putting.
