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 short, lighthearted game where you play as a dog eating treats and gaining weight to rescue a toy duck, with simple scavenging and charm mechanics.

What players say

Players call it a cute but very short free-to-play student project, roughly 30 minutes to an hour. The game mixes simple puzzles with barking to interact and stealth sections to avoid crabs and owners. Many want more levels, and some point out bugs like objects levitating and a lack of settings that can cause motion sickness.
