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 punishing, precision-driven 3D platformer with retro stylized graphics and a nostalgic feel, where each leap requires careful timing and perseverance.

What players say

Players praise the spot-on N64 aesthetic and the novelty of importing custom MIDI files, but several warn about occasional collision bugs that launch you in random directions. The single stage is seen as fairly balanced, offering secrets and unlockables that reward replay.
