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 whimsical and creative puzzle-platformer where you are constantly chased, requiring quick thinking and object manipulation.

What players say

Players compare it to a Catherine-like puzzle platformer rather than the original Wii Mushroom Men, and many are frustrated by a mandatory star currency to unlock areas, jump input lag, and a lack of checkpoints that can force restarts. Some praise the difficulty and humor, but others say the game is broken with keyboard controls and prone to softlocks. The developer has since shut down.
