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 cheerful, physics-driven co-op puzzle game where you and a partner solve silly challenges by passing objects mouth-to-mouth.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art, clever physics-based puzzles, and the way the game demands close teamwork. Many compare the co-op puzzle solving to Portal 2. Reviews note it works smoothly over Remote Play Together and runs on modest hardware, though solo play is quite hard.
