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 brisk, old-school platformer that feels like a nostalgic NES adventure, with cute pixel art and a modest difficulty curve.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and chiptune soundtrack but split on design choices. The timer and score penalty frustrate explorers, while others enjoy fast-paced retro action. The weapon switching is clever, though some find late-game boss fights cumbersome.
