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 nimble cat dashes through precise jumps and parries, blending delicate movement with sharp combat.

What players say

Players compare it to Celeste and find it lacking, citing inconsistent physics and controls that make precise platforming frustrating. The difficulty ramps up quickly and the game has almost no story.
