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 hectic, old-school platformer that rewards skill with quick reflexes and brutal stealth takedowns, set in a bright, cartoon world.

What players say

Players call this a tough but rewarding platformer where each level feels unique and requires learning patterns, almost like a puzzle game. The bright neon visuals and high-energy soundtrack get frequent praise, while some note the stealth mechanic could be expanded.
