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, skill-testing arcade snowplowing game where the pressure mounts as you manage cars and powerups, with a quirky, slightly absurd tone.

What players say

Players praise it as a simple, addictive pick-up-and-play game where you plow endless snow to keep roads clear for cars. The intentionally imprecise controls mimic slippery roads and take practice to master. Games are short, typically 15-20 minutes, ending when you crash into a car and get fired.
