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 3D platformer with a cute rusty robot, blending jumping puzzles and mild combat in a family-friendly atmosphere.

What players say

Players see it as a short, free prequel or demo that sets up a basic 3D platformer. Some enjoy the charming robot and peaceful puzzles, but others find the platforming too simple and the story thin. Performance problems like low FPS and a black-screen bug on launch frustrate a few.
