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, frustrating physics sandbox where you wrestle a wheelbarrow up makeshift obstacles while losing bricks, accompanied by a wry sense of absurdity.

What players say

Players finish it in under an hour and call it good value for the price, but they are split on the controls: some find them tough but learnable, others call them a nightmare. A reset button bug is mentioned, and a minority compare it unfavorably to Getting Over It.
