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 playful and competitive collect-a-thon where you round up cute cartoon dogs to build the biggest pack.

What players say

Players love the cute dog collecting and the absurd fun of swirling a vortex of pups, but many call it a very simple, short experience. A price increase from $1 to over $30 upset some, and players note the lack of multiplayer.
