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, casual dash down a snowy mountain to grab presents while a giant snowball chases you.

What players say

Players describe a simple, free running game with collision problems: trees and rocks have bigger hitboxes than their models, and the snowball kills you before it looks like it should. The game is short, has no score tracking, and pressing Esc crashes it, though some find it fun for a few minutes with young children.
