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, skill-based platformer where you dodge and fight through procedurally generated biomes with tight controls and permadeath.

What players say

Players compare it to Binding of Isaac and Hollow Knight for its structure and movement, but note it has a cartoon art style and more stats. The game is considered hard, with fast combat and low health.
