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.

What players say

Players describe a short, cute 2D platformer where a cat collects fly agarics for a witch. The challenge comes from tricky jumps and enemies like dogs with lasers, and many finish it in under 30 minutes. Some find the controls sensitive, and players are split on whether the music is too loud or just right.
