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 hand-crafted claymation world full of odd characters and slapstick danger, where exploring and chatting lead to chaotic bomb-defusing quests.

What players say

Players praise the handcrafted claymation visuals and funny story, but split on the janky controls and poor translation, with some hitting a dead end. The game plays like a Zelda-inspired adventure full of doors and mazes.
