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 chaotic, glitch-filled platformer where you wielding a stick as a literal afterthought hero.

What players say

Players praise the spear's creative uses, from aimed throws that slow time to recoil jumps that propel the character sideways. The game is hard, with some calling it precision platforming, and secret levels that are even more brutal. Controls feel fluid and responsive, though combat is minimal. A few note rough edges expected from a solo developer.
