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 praise it as a short, forgiving 2D platformer with simple mechanics and a charming vibe, highlighting the dancing penguin at level-end and the option to hunt for secrets or chase time records. Some say the difficulty spikes toward the end, and a couple of bugs are noted.
