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 brisk, cartoon-inspired runner with light platforming challenges and a self-aware, kid-friendly sense of adventure.

What players say

Players are split. Some enjoy it as a nostalgic runner from mobile, but others call it unfinished with constant bugs, a jump delay that hurts platforming, and no actual movement control because it is an auto-runner. Progression forces repeated runs through the same short levels, and while it looks like 8 worlds there are only 4.
