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

Playing feels like stepping into a nostalgic yet unsettling 3D platformer from the 90s, where the charm of collect-a-thon gameplay is undercut by a creeping sense of dread and danger.

What players say

Players call this a short N64-style platformer that blends cute visuals with tense horror. Movement feels satisfying and the game has replay value for speedrunning, though some mention a difficulty spike and freezing bugs.
