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 linear 2D action game blending adorable aesthetics with tense forest exploration and bullet-dodging gunplay.

What players say
Players are split: some enjoy the creepy atmosphere and old-school platforming, while others call it an asset flip with clunky controls and no audio. The game is very short, about 2 hours for 20 levels, and controller support has been added but is still finicky.
