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 cheerful and precise platforming adventure where you guide a determined little explorer through tricky obstacles and treasure-filled dungeons with responsive movement and a nostalgic pixel style.

What players say

Players call it a short, challenging precision platformer clearly inspired by Celeste, with simple pixel art and responsive controls. The 60 levels build from easy to a few brutal spikes, and unlimited checkpoints on normal mode keep frustration low. However, several players note the lack of control rebinding and say the game offers no story or characters.
