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 brutally challenging and minimalist 2D platformer with instant respawns and a short runtime, designed to feel both punishing and speedrun-friendly.

What players say

Players describe a brutally challenging two-button precision platformer with instant respawns that make failure feel like learning. The soundtrack is consistently praised, and while some find the controlling finicky, most agree the difficulty is fair. A short game, players note collectibles are mandatory for progression.
