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, absurd mashup where you control geese in a comical battle against a giant octopus, with hand-drawn visuals and a focus on silly fun.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, quirky minigame collection with beautiful art and music, but many find the gameplay shallow and frustrating due to no checkpoints and sluggish controls. Opinions split on whether the price is fair for its roughly hour-long length.
