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 tense and methodical dungeon crawl where you must carefully navigate dark corridors, solve puzzles, and fight enemies using quick reflexes and strategic thinking.

What players say

Players call it a challenging but fair classic platformer with good pixel art, praising the wall jump mechanic and comparing it to Prince of Persia and Super Mario. Some note minor flaws they hope the developer will fix.
