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, gentle puzzle-platformer where you explore a garden world in monochrome green pixels, solving simple puzzles and avoiding light threats in a family-friendly, nostalgic atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise this as a charming but very short platformer with a Game Boy aesthetic that takes about 30 minutes to finish. Many note the green color scheme can be boring and some find jumping on slopes unresponsive.
