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, colorful platformer with light puzzle and combat, driven by a cheerful heroine and whimsical pirate fantasy.

What players say
Players say it is a short and cheap Metroidvania with tight controls, great music, and charming art, but frequent crashes and a confusing overworld map make backtracking a chore.
