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 quirky, physics-driven pinball adventure with light exploration and secrets tucked into colorful retro-styled chambers.

What players say

Players enjoy the pinball adventure concept, praising creative puzzle rooms and pleasant atmosphere. Most agree it is short at 2-3 hours and very linear, so calling it a metroidvania is a stretch. Falling to lower levels is frustrating due to the single-level tower, and players are split on the physics. A later review notes updates improved controls and movement skills.
