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

You play as a cheerful mail scout in a cozy, story-rich forest, delivering letters to cute critters with gentle platforming and a warm, fairy-tale feel.

What players say

Players call it a short, cute platformer that feels like a cozy afternoon with animal friends. The movement is simple and the controls can be floaty, with some finding it tricky to land jumps. Many warn it is too short for the full price and recommend buying on sale.
