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 challenging 2D pixel-art platformer where you scavenge resources through dangerous missions with a sense of bleak survival and teamwork with a mechanical companion.

What players say

Players report the controls are a major hurdle, especially on keyboard and mouse, and the difficulty feels unfair rather than rewarding. There is a co-op mode, but the platforming and aiming frustrate more than they challenge.
