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 narrative-driven hand-drawn platformer with a dark fantasy atmosphere and surreal, stylized visuals.

What players say

Players praise the art and animation, especially the monster designs and how the game blends fairy-tale and Catholic imagery. The story is widely considered vague and confusing, requiring background knowledge some players lack. Gameplay is a short puzzle-platformer with one-hit death and no backtracking for missed collectibles, which frustrates completionists.
