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 fast-paced action-platformer where you fight through procedurally generated departments with a darkly humorous, cartoonish cast of characters.

What players say

Players praise the art, humor, and satirical office theme, but many find the gameplay repetitive and stale due to same-looking levels and limited enemy variety. The health system is punishing, bosses demand heavy grinding, and achievement bugs frustrate completionists.
