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

You play as the fruit, frantically dodging a snake in a tense arcade chase that rewards quick reflexes and high scores.

What players say

Players enjoy its twist on the classic Snake formula, kicking fruit to distract the snake instead of controlling it. The game is short-lived, with many calling it fun for brief sessions between other games, and the leaderboard adds replayability.
