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.

What players say

Players praise the dreamlike hand-drawn art and calming music, but find the platforming harder than the cozy look suggests. The isometric view makes jumps tricky, and many recommend a controller. The game has many stages and is good for relaxing, though some wish for more enemy variety and tighter controls.
