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 lighthearted and retro-inspired platforming adventure where you explore a pixelated dungeon, hunt for loot, and battle big bosses with a playful tone.

What players say

Players describe it as a fun but short retro platformer that can be finished in a couple of hours. Opinions on controls are split: some find them slippery or laggy, while others call them smooth with a controller. The game is more linear than a typical metroidvania, with a few challenging sections like ice platforms and a dragon boss.
