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 disorienting, feverish platformer that feels like stumbling through a corrupted old video game with a creepy, surreal undertone.

What players say

Players describe a surreal and unsettling horror platformer with striking art direction and an emotional ending that ties the experience together. The late game is punishing, with few checkpoints and janky hitboxes, leading some to call it too difficult or tedious.
