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 precise and punishing retro platformer where every jump is a life-or-death calculation against spikes and pits.

What players say

Players praise it as a short, tight precision platformer with only three controls and no input delay, but a few note the final autoscrolling level with screen shake feels unfair and the main game requires replaying levels to find hidden gems before the final boss.
