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 quiet, solitary journey through strange alien ruins in a 2D platformer that encourages careful exploration and reflection.

What players say

Players say it is a short, free 2D exploration platformer with tight controls and satisfying movement upgrades. The final boss is fun, and the game opens up once you unlock abilities, though some note long loading times and bugs.
