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 blistering speedrun platformer where tight movement and pixel-perfect precision are the only way to escape hell as a duck in a world of dark humor.

What players say

Players compare it to Super Meat Boy for its short levels and focus on speed, but note that wall sticking can be unresponsive and the respawn lacks a brief pause. The game is beatable in a few hours, though chasing gold times can get punishing.
