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 frantic, grief-fueled platformer where tight combos and teleportation are your only tools against a relentless onslaught as you fight to reclaim what's lost.

What players say

Players praise the combat system as unique and satisfying once mastered, with a grapple mechanic that lets you fling toward enemies. The game is challenging and gets harder as you go, and the story has a twist. Opinions split on the controls: some find them smooth and intuitive, others say the movement feels stiff or have trouble with non-standard controller button mapping.
