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 frantic holiday dash through a mall, balancing gift-grabbing with dodging security.

What players say

Players enjoy the comedic premise of Santa stealing gifts and the goofy animations, but note the game is very short and gets repetitive. Some criticize it as an asset flip, though most find it harmless free fun.
