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

You frantically navigate a chaotic gauntlet built and altered on the fly by a live audience, where cooperation and survival feel equally precarious.

What players say

Players say the game is a fun streamer-trolling tool, but only works with the now-defunct Mixer service. The core idea is that viewers place platforms and monsters for the streamer to navigate. Reviews from 2023 onward are unanimous: the game cannot be played anymore.
