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 hand-drawn precision platformer that feels like playing a melancholic music box, where graceful violin swings double as traversal and the world's silence is slowly rewoven into melody.

What players say

Players praise the game's art and orchestral music but are split on the controls: some find them tight, others complain they are not smooth or have bad default binds. It's a short, hard precision platformer with minimal story and a unique music theme, though some feel its price is high for the length. A few note weird design choices like rewarding cheats for completing hard challenges.
