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 vibrant, stylized pirate adventure with tricky precision platforming and scarce checkpoints, where quick runs and coin collection reward speed and skill.

What players say

Players are split on performance: some call it unplayably unoptimized even on good hardware, while others report smooth operation on ultra settings. Those who enjoy a challenge find it a satisfying hardcore platformer with vibrant environments and chill music, ideal for speedrunners, though many note the lack of checkpoints and punishing difficulty.
