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

You play as a clueless passenger suddenly forced to pilot a spaceship, leading to frantic, slapstick action as you scramble to save everyone.

What players say

Players describe this as a fun but brief prototype that is either trivially easy or brutally hard. A common complaint is that the game resets your progress each run, so you never get to master all the controls before it ends.
