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 fast, joyful run through colorful levels with tight platforming and a cute aesthetic.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, cute, and very easy platformer, finishing in about 1.5 to 3 hours. The levels are tiny and the game is considered beginner-friendly, though a bonus world offers a spike in difficulty. There are no achievements and the game lacks depth, but it is seen as a fun, low-commitment snack between heavier titles.
