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 darkly funny, choose-your-own-adventure action-rpg with pixel graphics where you guide a pigeon with a digestive disease through a dystopian world of petrol-based life.

What players say

Players like the B-movie story and humor but find the gameplay frustrating, especially the wind mechanic that makes aiming feel like chance instead of skill. Controls are called wonky and the core joke wears thin without strong gameplay to back it up.
