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 contemplative, emotional puzzle platformer where you navigate artistic insecurity, facing symbolic monsters and a personal boss battle to reveal your final artwork.

What players say

Players love the cute art and cat theme, but wish the game were longer: most finish in under an hour. Some report high RAM usage that can crash other programs.
