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 whimsical indie adventure that blends a sugary fantasy world with strangely disturbing threats.

What players say

Players describe a short, tight precision platformer with non-stop mechanic variety and liberal checkpoints. They praise the pixel art and music, and most find the boss fights creative, though a minority call them boring or unfair, especially the true final boss. The game is compared favorably to Celeste and seen as a big step up from the developer's earlier title.
