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 short, punishing platformer that demands precise control while offering quiet moments to reflect and enjoy the scenery.

What players say

Players need time to learn the parry-based climb, and some never fully grasp it. The game is a challenging, rewarding bite-sized climber that draws comparisons to Jump King, though a few report wrist strain from the inputs.
