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 laid-back 3D side-scrolling platformer where you casually collect toys as Santa, navigating simple obstacles with a pleasant soundtrack.

What players say

Players say it is a short collection of 12 levels, beatable in under an hour, but the platforming relies on precise timing more than puzzle-solving. Many call it not worth full price and recommend waiting for a deep discount. Some complain the controls, camera, and jump physics feel janky, and a few note it reuses assets from the developer's other game, Girl Blonde.
