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 short, intense platformer that feels charming and goofy despite its difficulty.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, hand-drawn precision platformer with no combat and a checkpoint system that acts as health. A few reviewers note that one late level has a difficulty spike, but overall the game is seen as charming and fun, if overlooked.
