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 zippy, retro-styled platformer that feels like a playful romp through a glitchy, colorful world with light tone and quick movement.

What players say

Players praise the smooth cable-based movement and creative level design, though many note the game starts too easy before ramping up. The lack of checkpoints and one-hit deaths can frustrate, but the short level length and generous accessibility options keep it approachable.
