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 visually striking hand-drawn action adventure that feels like exploring a living graphic novel, blending emotional storytelling with fast-paced combat and whimsical-dark exploration.

What players say

Players praise the stunning art and creative boss fights, but split on difficulty: some find it challenging but fair, others call it frustrating, especially during three-gun combat. The game is a linear action platformer, not a metroidvania, and is short enough to finish in one or two sittings.
