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 brisk and fluid run-and-collect platformer where you dash through hand-drawn worlds, driven by the urge to snatch every treasure while the clock ticks for medals.

What players say

Players praise the fast, momentum-based movement and unique level gimmicks, but the high difficulty and occasionally slippery controls split opinion. The game is short with plenty of collectibles, and works well on Steam Deck.
