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 precision platformer that demands quick reflexes and mastery of tight, responsive controls to overcome escalating obstacles.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and fluid movement, often comparing the gameplay to Hollow Knight's Path of Pain or Celeste with a pogo mechanic. The game gets challenging quickly and is relatively short at around two to six hours. Some players find the checkpointing sparse and the downward attack inconsistent, with a negative review citing an unreliable parry on the final boss.
