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 short but demanding precision platformer that asks for quick reflexes and careful timing.

What players say

Players describe a short 2D platformer that takes 20 to 44 minutes to complete. The card mechanic is creative but clunky, and the controls feel floaty and imprecise, making difficulty feel awkward rather than designed. Some call it a fair challenge, others say it isn't worth playing. Long-time players note that development stopped in early 2024 and the creator moved on.
