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 nostalgic 2.5D platformer that feels like a challenging yet lighthearted treasure hunt through trap-filled levels.

What players say

Players appreciate the balanced challenge and clean graphics, though fall damage frustrates some. The game is short at around nine hours, has two difficulty modes where easy removes health loss, and is controller-only. Reviews split on the music: some find it catchy, others repetitive.
