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 punishing old-school platformer with cute pixel visuals and a relaxing soundtrack, where you repeatedly die and retry levels as a nimble elf.

What players say

Players call it a short, barebones 2D platformer that is fine for its low price. Many note it feels like a GameMaker template flip with floaty, buggy controls, while others find it a decent quick playthrough.
