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, difficult action-platformer with precise jumps and clever puzzles in a pixel-art alien world.

What players say

Players praise its unique teleport gun mechanic and smooth platforming, though note it is very short at 2-3 hours. Opinions on the visuals are split, with some calling the graphics bad and others fine.
