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 snappy, precision-based speedrunning platformer that feels like a constant, challenging rhythm of short dashes and careful jumps.

What players say

A short, retro-style precision platformer heavily inspired by Celeste. Players praise the tight controls and one-screen levels designed for speedrunning, with a small but active community chasing leaderboard times. It takes about 45 minutes to beat and 4-5 hours to fully complete, though one reviewer finds the window tiny and controls finicky on keyboard.
