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 cheerful 3D platformer with vibrant tropical levels and light exploration, featuring expressive characters and a gentle progression through collecting crystals.

What players say

A short and charming student-made 3D platformer that takes about 20-30 minutes to finish. Players praise the running-on-water movement and tropical setting, but performance problems and camera fiddliness hold it back, especially on Steam Deck.
