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, local multiplayer platformer where you race and jostle with friends on procedurally generated levels, all set inside a CD player with a lively, arcade-like energy.

What players say

Players love this as a chaotic party game that's easy for all ages to pick up, with mode changes like Fast Forward keeping each round unpredictable. Multiplayer with up to eight players is the highlight, though one player reports controller support issues.
