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 fast-paced retro puzzle-platformer where you activate switches and use ninja skills under a ticking clock.

What players say

Players describe a one-screen action puzzle game where you push blocks and hit switches, then race a countdown to the exit. The difficulty feels fair until the final stage, which suddenly demands near-perfect execution. Some note controller support is incomplete and menus don't work with a gamepad.
