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 cute and colorful metroidvania that feels precise and exploratory, with a retro pixel aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise the style but warn the game is hard, with a skill gate that some cannot pass. The map is large and the gameplay is unforgiving, drawing comparisons to Hollow Knight.
