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 gentle, cooperative 2D adventure through bright magical landscapes where you glide and solve puzzles alongside a small animal friend.

What players say

Players call it a short and sweet casual platformer with beautiful hand-painted art and a fair price. It takes about 90 minutes across 9 levels, and while most find the controls decent, some note missing jump buffering and coyote time. A known issue since 2023 is broken achievements that the developer has not fixed.
