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 brief, intimate, and emotionally raw hand-drawn platformer exploring love and hate through a distressed developer's haunted perspective, paired with a beautiful soundtrack.

What players say

Players describe it as a breakup story told through a frustrating 2D platformer, with repetitive gameplay that some say is intentional. Opinions split: many praise its emotional impact and personal storytelling, while others find it a "rage simulator" with a self-indulgent narrator.
