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 pixel-art action platformer about climbing an island with moderate pacing and a sense of exploration.

What players say

Players describe a short, fair platformer with tight controls and fun boss fights, though some mention the lack of a save system and occasional counter-intuitive design. It is frequently compared to the developer's earlier game Ruination, with many saying it is more player-friendly.
