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 simple, gradually challenging obstacle-dodging adventure with a low poly aesthetic and timed pressure.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a relaxing low-poly puzzle game, but many report broken achievements, no save states, and frustrating controls. The game has 50 short levels with no story, and a few reviewers say a single annoying song plays the whole time.
