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 goofy, chaotic couch co-op where old folks with stretchy necks bite and swing through hand-drawn worlds accompanied by a unique mouth-noise and jews-harp soundtrack.

What players say

Players love the absurd neck-stretching mechanic and the silly local co-op, which gets everyone laughing. It has a Masochist mode and a PVP mini game for variety, though online play requires Remote Play Together and a controller is strongly recommended.
