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.

What players say

Players describe a 2D asymmetric co-op puzzle platformer that demands constant verbal communication since each player sees a different screen. The game offers around 10–15 hours of content with 144 levels across 8 worlds. Reviews split on difficulty: some find the puzzles fair and balanced, while others call some levels punishing and a handful of levels softlock.
