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

It feels like a straightforward, fast-paced retro action platformer with a dark fantasy setting and moderate challenge.

What players say

Players say this is a finished version of a 1999 shareware game, and praise its fair difficulty with checkpoints, responsive controls, and charming pixel art. Some note the camera can cause motion sickness and that certain falling platforms make backtracking frustrating.
