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 chaotic, cooperative scramble to craft and deliver weapons under a ticking clock, with cartoonish physics and slapstick mishaps.

What players say

Players say it is a fun local co-op game that feels like Overcooked but with dwarves and crafting. The tone is light and frantic. Some report a showstopping bug on a specific level that uses Unity, which can lock progress. Players split on multiplayer quality, with a minority calling it unplayable with input lag.
