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 fast-paced 2D side-scrolling adventure through pixel-art ruins, with combat and exploration against a backdrop of a great soundtrack.

What players say

A short, linear platformer with light metroidvania elements. Players praise the art and humor but split on difficulty, calling out specific pain points like fake walls for secrets, a dreaded driving stage, and the requirement to beat bosses without taking damage for certain items.
