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 hand-drawn 2D platformer that feels like a heartfelt, precise adventure through beautiful, nature-filled scenes.

What players say

Players praise the gorgeous hand-drawn art and cute rabbit protagonist, saying it is challenging like Celeste or Ori. They are split on the difficulty: many find the platforming tough but fair, while a few criticize unclear checkpointing, no backtracking for collectibles, and finicky controller input. The story is described as wholesome and emotional, though one player says it is shallow.
