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, randomized platforming adventure where you explore a retro underground world, fight enemies, and customize your character.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple, grindy platformer with procedural worlds and a lot of loot. The difficulty is divisive, with many calling the later areas excessive or insurmountable while others find it fair. Some report control issues like floaty jumps and a weak weapon feel.
