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 short, atmospheric dark fantasy platformer where you explore a twisted world, collect items, and compete in speedruns and fishing challenges.

What players say

Players praise the striking pixel art and atmospheric sound design, but disagree on the gameplay: some find it a relaxing exploration, others call it frustrating due to slippery physics and unclear paths. The game is short, often completed in about 3 hours, with a wordless story and mixed feelings on its platforming challenge.
