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

Players navigate a colorful, pixel-art theme park as a technician fixing robots in a mix of casual platforming and puzzle-solving that balances moments of tension with a relaxed tone.

What players say

Players finish this puzzle platformer in under two hours and recommend it only on sale. Many complain about missing options: no fullscreen, no quit button, and a camera that bounces with each jump, which some find dizzying. The level count is also disputed, with one reviewer counting 96 instead of the advertised 100.
