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 fast-paced, unforgiving arcade chase where steering two linked balls through obstacle courses feels tense and punishing, but the shared struggle in local co-op turns frustration into chaotic fun.

What players say

Players control two connected nodes simultaneously, which creates a steep learning curve and a 'brain jumbling' challenge. The campaign is short, around two hours, but survival mode gets extremely tough, and players recommend using a controller over keyboard.
