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 challenging pixel-art platformer with a tense atmosphere as you navigate dangerous tunnels to restore balance between nature and machines.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly call this a broken platformer. The jump and interact buttons share the same key, achievements are permanently stuck, and there is no save system, forcing restarts from scratch every session. A few note decent music and a tolerable 6/10 experience, but most agree it is not worth the full €17 price tag.
