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 gentle, whimsical collectathon where you wander through colorful, retro-styled worlds solving puzzles, chatting with cute NPCs, and using playful gadgets to glide, double jump, or rocket along at your own pace.

What players say

Players call it a 2D Mario Odyssey with charming art and music, but warn the time trial challenges, especially beating the developer's records, are brutally hard, ruining the fun for completionists. Controls feel floaty and the lack of a map is a minor flaw.
