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 tense, punishing platformer where each procedurally generated level forces you to weigh progress against the risk of losing everything.

What players say

Players compare it to Mega Man and Super Meat Boy for its tough but rewarding platforming. The risk-reward system, where you can upgrade or push on and possibly lose progress, gets mentioned. Some players find a controller easier than keyboard.
