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 arcade action game with tactical delivery routes, bike tricks, and a playful rebellious tone.

What players say

Players call it a fun, short nostalgia throwback to the original Paper Boy. The throwing mechanic feels overcomplicated to some and the game lacks bees, a classic hazard. It is considered child-friendly with no violence and all achievements can be earned in under an hour.
