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 lighthearted and silly game where you wander a small town, collect jewels, and play minigames with a focus on goofy, non-violent physical comedy.

What players say

Players say the game is short with only five stages that can be beaten in under 15 minutes, but it includes a sandbox free-roam mode on an open city map. The gameplay focuses on kicking people and objects, including politicians, with some finding the physics lacking and others enjoying the arcade-style destruction.
