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 pixel-art metroidvania that feels like a tense survival adventure on a lush, dinosaur-filled planet with an action-driven story.

What players say

Players enjoy the expressive pixel art, responsive movement, and emotional storytelling that works without a single line of dialogue. The game takes about 5-6 hours to finish and supports local co-op, where one player rides a dinosaur. Some find the map confusing and the difficulty punishing, while others say that aimless exploration is part of the genre.
