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.

What players say

Players describe a short, challenging retro platformer with beautiful pixel art and music that recalls Mega Man. The level design divides them: some enjoy the difficulty, others find it frustrating with unfair enemy placement and tricky platform jumps. There is no story or boss fights, and all abilities share a stamina meter.
