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 retro pixel-art platformer with whimsical 1920s cartoon energy and modest platforming challenge.

What players say

Players describe a short, charming 8-bit platformer inspired by the public-domain Mickey Mouse cartoon. It has 20 levels and around 90 minutes of play, but reviews consistently report a lack of a manual save, forcing restarts after death. Some also mention no controller support on Steam Deck and an inability to rebind keys.
