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 arcade punch-fest where you race against a timer, dashing and jumping to knock sheep back home with no hostility, just manic urgency.

What players say

Players describe a scuffed arcade game about punching sheep, with simple high-score chasing. Some note janky controls and getting stuck in the ground, while others find it cathartically fun with funny sound design and music.
