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 quirky, surreal minigolf experience where you fling a ball through colorful levels while listening to a deadpan host's darkly comedic commentary.

What players say

Players are split on Cheap Golf. Some call it a fun, funny, and hard minigolf game with a rogue AI story, while others see it as a $5 browser game ported to Steam without enough effort. Controls get criticism for the click-to-fire mode, and the game is short, around a few hours.
