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 cozy but focused mix of tight platforming and gentle puzzle solving, where you light your way through dark caverns with a calm, exploratory feeling.

What players say

Players praise the tight, Super Meat Boy-like controls and frequent checkpoints that keep deaths from feeling frustrating. The game mixes precision platforming with puzzles, and levels encourage backtracking and exploration. Some players wish arrows were reusable or want more levels, but most recommend it.
