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.

A fast and cute pixel-art metroidvania where you swing a fish sword through tricky platforming and intense battles.

What players say

Players love the cute cat characters and art style, but many complain about bugs, a difficulty spike after the Frozen Plateau, and confusing collectibles. Opinions split on whether the RPG Maker origins are an achievement or a limitation.
