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 calm yet steadily challenging platformer where you navigate sparse, minimalist levels, unlocking doors with keys as the gentle music carries you forward.

What players say

Players are split on this free precision platformer. Some find it a fun skill check while others rage over inconsistent wall jumps and slippery controls where every jump feels different. Many note it works well as an achievement collector for Steam profile customization, but the core gameplay frustrates as much as it entertains.
