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 goofy, skill-based 2D arcade game with colorful graphics where failing is more humorous than frustrating.

What players say

Players say the pogo stick control takes getting used to but is rewarding once mastered. The game is brutally hard, with multiple players calling it the "Dark Souls of platformers," though a few enjoy the frustration.
