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 clever, non-traditional platformer where you navigate a comic-book world without jumping, relying on ninja skills to overcome obstacles.

What players say

Players praise the creative twist of removing the jump button and replacing it with shuriken-throwing and grappling mechanics, which take time to learn but become satisfying once mastered. Many note the high difficulty, with some levels relying on trial and error, and opinions split on whether the checkpoint placement and trap design are fair or punitive.
