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 precise 2D platformer where you guide a little witch through a trap-filled dungeon with jumps, dashes, and enemies that react to your presence.

What players say

Players say it is a short, cute precision platformer that takes about an hour to finish its 30 levels. The controls feel smooth on controller but some find the dash input awkward on keyboard, with one reviewer calling the game broken on that input. It is less punishing than Celeste but keeps a fair challenge.
