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 straightforward retro action platformer with pixel graphics and a gentle samurai theme, focusing on environmental platforming and puzzles without open-ended exploration.

What players say

Players are split on this 8-bit platformer. Some enjoy the parkour and nostalgic feel, but many criticize it for reusing assets and mechanics from earlier Ninjahtic games with little innovation. Complaints include clunky controls, misleading hitboxes, and the inability to rebind keys on keyboard.
