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 fast-paced metroidvania where you zip through a post-apocalyptic pixel world as a ninja robot, unlocking abilities and feeling agile.

What players say

Players praise the fluid kunai swinging and snappy combat but split on the game's depth. Many find it a short, fun metroidvania with gorgeous pastel pixel art and an expressive robot protagonist, yet consistently criticize the lack of fast travel, heavy backtracking, and a forgettable story.
