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 lighthearted, retro-inspired 2D platformer with roguelike elements, featuring fast-paced jumping and exploration through a vast cave world.

What players say

Players warn that the controls are unpredictable and frustrating, with floaty physics that make movement feel random. The game is also very short and easy, and reviews suggest its story hints are never resolved.
