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 fast, fluid platforming adventure where you move without platforms, reacting instantly to stylized machine-age ruins.

What players say

Players are split on this magnetism-based puzzle platformer, with some enjoying the unique mechanic and art style while others find the controls finicky and the levels too short. The game is seen as fun in short bursts but not worth full price, and multiple users note that achievements are broken and development seems abandoned.
