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 brutally difficult precision platformer that mixes Lovecraftian surrealism with banana-themed monologues, designed to test your patience and jump accuracy.

What players say

Players describe it as a basic, punishing rage platformer with no checkpoints or saves, making progress feel artificial. Some find it fun in short bursts with friends, while others criticize the lack of control options and simplistic mechanics. Reviews are split: some blame skill issues, others call it frustratingly tedious.
