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 playful, cheerful romp through a cartoon world where you guide a walking box through simple platforming challenges.

What players say

Players compare it to a low-budget Crash Bandicoot with a fixed camera that often blocks vision. Controls feel slippery and delayed, and dying in one hit makes precise platforming frustrating. Some praise the variety of levels and cute art style, but many say poor polish and design flaws outweigh the fun.
