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, challenging, retro-styled platformer with pixel art that blends puzzle solving and nonlinear exploration, punctuated by unlockable modifiers for varied runs.

What players say

Players call it a faithful throwback to early home computer platformers, with three dungeons that take 2-4 hours to clear. It is challenging but does not punish too hard thanks to unlimited lives and generous checkpoints. Some players find the second dungeon frustrating, and opinions split on whether the retro monochrome visuals are charming or just ugly.
