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 2D side-scrolling beat-em-up that feels like a fast-paced, skill-driven fantasy brawler with stealthy assassinations and item exploration.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art style and stealth kill animations, calling the combat and platforming a fun homage to Prince of Persia. The game is short (2-3 hours) with replayability through different skill paths, though controls feel variable and hitboxes can be unclear.
