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 cartoony typing arcade game where you frantically type words to dodge obstacles and eliminate ghosts, balancing a dark theme with lighthearted presentation.

What players say

Players enjoy the typing action but complain the platforming obstacles outweigh the typing, calling it more about dodging than typing. Movement keys conflict with typing keys, causing accidental character jerks. The game is short, with a few hours of content, but has ranking and achievements for replayability.
