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 tight, fast-paced platformer that demands rhythmic precision and colour-matching reflexes, with no jumping and an arcade-like sense of flow.

What players say

Players describe it as a fast-paced platformer mixed with rhythm game elements, where you match enemy colors with button inputs. Reviews praise the tight gameplay and replayability from multiple stage exits, but note the difficulty spikes sharply in later levels. A few players warn the publisher revoked keys without explanation.
