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 gentle, whimsical 2D platformer with a handmade charm and light comedic beats, feeling like a child's sketch come to life.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and pixel art, comparing it to Sega Genesis platformers. The weapon system is surprisingly deep, turning the game into resource management. Players split on difficulty: some call it forgiving, others say certain bosses are a huge skill wall. Several note the game is brief with about 21 levels, and a few wish movement was faster.
