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, atmospheric side-scroller that feels like a gentle, mystical journey through a spirit realm, driven by story and quiet discovery rather than frantic action.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and music but find the controls floaty, with frequent bugs and getting stuck on geometry. It is a very short student project, and reviews split on whether its visual charm makes the rough gameplay worth it.
