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 lighthearted, whimsical action-adventure where you use an enchanted badminton racquet to deflect attacks and navigate through traps.

What players say

Players compare it to Mega Man with badminton rackets used to deflect enemy shots. The game is very hard, with clunky controls and random boss fights that some find unfair. Several report it fails to boot on Windows 10. Long-time players say development stalled with no updates since 2018. Art and UI are called simplistic, but those who click enjoy the challenge in short bursts.
