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 chaotic physics sandbox where you wrestle with intentionally clumsy controls to turn a slice of bread into toast, with absurdist humor and constant frustration.

What players say

Players love the absurd idea of controlling a slice of bread trying to get toasted, but they are split on whether the intentionally janky physics controls are frustrating or part of the fun. The game offers multiple ways to complete each level, though many find it short and conceptually driven.
