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 frantic, caffeine-fueled 2D platformer that demands quick reflexes and relentless focus to overcome its punishing difficulty.

What players say

Players are split on this coffee-fueled platformer. Many call it brutally difficult, requiring memorization of levels and precise control of a hyper mode that makes the character auto-run. The coffee collection and caffeine timer mechanic gets mixed reactions, with some finding it unique and others feeling the controls make the game more frustrating than fun.
