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 nostalgic, precise, and challenging 2D action-platformer with a retro pixel art style and a rewind mechanic that lets you control the difficulty.

What players say

Players call it a focused, challenging precision platformer with generous checkpoints and a rewind mode that keeps frustration low. Combat takes a backseat to movement and obstacle courses. There's light disagreement on the new final boss, which some find too hard and pace-breaking.
