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

Playing backwards through a completed game, re-releasing coins and reviving enemies in a playful, comedic twist on platforming.

What players say

Players praise the reverse-platforming concept as clever and unique, but many say the execution falls short: the game lasts under an hour, jumping can feel unresponsive, and the auto-run leaves little to do beyond timing one button.
