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 brisk, repetitive side-scrolling run through pixelated prehistoric settings with simple upgrade mechanics.

What players say

Players compare it to the Chrome offline dinosaur game but say it costs money, leading many to argue it should be free. Some enjoy the nostalgia and pixel art for short sessions, while others call it an overpriced asset flip with control and language bugs.
