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 high-energy communication puzzle game where you frantically describe a bomb to experts who have the manual, creating tense and often hilarious moments.

What players say

Players love the chaotic co-op communication, where one person reads the manual and the other defuses a bomb. It creates a mix of high stress and laughter, though some find the fun fades once both players memorize the manual or modules.
