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.

What players say

Players agree this is a short and challenging 2D platformer with only three levels and no save progress, meaning you start over if you quit. The core mechanic is throwing a returning knife while also stomping enemies. Some find it fun in small doses but note the lack of content and the frustration of losing all progress.
