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, colorful platforming adventure with a silly clown and his lost dog, full of carnival charm and gentle comedy.

What players say

Players appreciate the cute art style and music, but report the camera is too high and controls have input lag. The late game becomes a grindy difficulty spike, and levels are long with few checkpoints. Some call it a decent platformer for a low price, while others recommend similar games instead.
