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 short, tight platforming challenge where every move relies on a single sword swing, demanding quick reflexes and precision.

What players say

Players finish it in about an hour and wish it were longer, calling it polished and fun despite being free. The core mechanic, slashing to jump, draws frequent comparisons to Celeste and Hollow Knight's pogo, and fans say it deserves a price tag.
