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.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a simple, cheap endless runner that is fine for quick, casual sessions and easy achievements, while others warn it is an asset flip or a shallow template. A few mention the soundtrack and achievements for Steam profile customization.
