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 linear 2D action-platformer with old-school mechanics, colorful cartoon visuals, and a focus on archery and stealthy castle infiltration.

What players say

Players call this a challenging 2D platformer with a medieval rescue story. Difficulty consistently rises, and there is a point of no return that prevents backtracking. Some praise the variety of traps and enemies, while others find the off-screen arrows and ground spikes frustrating.
