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 smooth and responsive 2D action-platformer where you explore varied levels, blast enemies with weapons, and master precise controls.

What players say

Players say the platforming is ruined by buggy collisions, floaty physics, and a camera that can cause motion sickness. There is no save system, only checkpoints, and the game can be finished in roughly 30 minutes.
