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 grim pixel-art action-adventure with a melancholy and dirty atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the bizarre, dark humor and strong pixel art, but note it has a slow beginning and is not for everyone. The story follows a depressed jellyfish and a cocaine-addicted wizard, with unique boss mechanics and grotesque worldbuilding.
