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 cute but punishing precision platformer where you guide a small white cat through colorful, retro-styled levels filled with deadly traps.

What players say

Players are divided on the controls: some find them floaty and frustrating like ice levels, while others say they become satisfying once mastered. The game offers a fair challenge with some difficulty spikes and a skip option, plus cosmetics and varied mechanics that keep it from feeling repetitive.
