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 breezy, cheerful platformer that feels like exploring a whimsical digital desktop with clever puzzles and warm interactions.

What players say

Players praise the art and music but are divided on the platforming. Some call it fun and creative with unique level gimmicks, while others find the controls floaty and the difficulty inconsistent. The game is short, around 5 to 6 hours, and many note it encourages cheesing sections. A few report save loss or softlocks.
