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 tense, one-hit-kill precision platformer where every move must be swift and exact, blending fast-paced combat with the relentless pressure of a single mistake ending your run.

What players say

Players praise the fast, skill-based combat where one hit kills and parrying keep you on edge. Several note that some levels spoil the pace with excessive traps or cheap enemy vision, causing random deaths. The sci-fi visuals draw comparisons to Tron, and the story, told through collectible logs, offers multiple endings.
