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 fast-paced platformer that feels like playing through a child's imaginative escape, blending lighthearted toy-based action with a gently introspective emotional journey.

What players say

A short, student-made platformer that plays in 20 to 30 minutes. Players are split: some enjoy the creepy atmosphere and dark themes of childhood trauma, while others point to frequent bugs, missing achievements, and the lack of a save option as dealbreakers.
