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 lively 2D platformer where you bounce through colorful pixel stages, return to a town that reacts to your choices, and feel a lighthearted mix of action and gentle community bonding.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and light town-building, but many report clunky combat and tedious bosses. The inability to stack healing items frustrates, and the lack of checkpoints forces repeated runs. The game is short, around 3 hours, and some find the jump feel heavy.
