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 tense, fast-paced precision platformer with a cute pixel aesthetic and a punishing difficulty curve.

What players say

Players disagree on controls: some call them tight and responsive, others find the movement floaty in the air. The game is seen as challenging for a precision platformer, especially the bonus levels, and lacks checkpoints though levels are short. Music and pixel art are praised, but one reviewer found a bugged level. The game takes 5-15 hours to clear and appeals to speedrunners.
