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 methodical mix of crate-pushing puzzles and simple combat against aggressive creatures, with adjustable difficulty making it approachable for any player.

What players say

Players call this a copy-paste platformer built from a template, designed solely to farm Steam trading cards. The single level takes 10-15 minutes, controls are stiff, and graphical options are missing. Only a handful of positive reviews are jokes or one-liners.
