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

It feels like a breezy, nostalgic run through old-school side-scroller levels with simple combat and lots of trinkets to grab.

What players say

Players praise the humorous voice-over and sharp pixel art, calling it a fun throwback platformer that is challenging without feeling unfair. A minority report a bug that blocks jumping during the tutorial, forcing restarts.
