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 tense balancing act of precise jumps and falling platforms, soothed by a gentle ambient soundtrack that contrasts with the stress of learning through repeated mistakes.

What players say

Players agree the game is very short, often finished in under an hour, and liken it to a demo or proof of concept. Many find the platforming frustrating due to finicky edges and a single-color background that makes movement hard to judge, and some note the lack of resolution options.
