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 lighthearted but challenging platformer where you deliver mail through a cursed tower, balancing whimsical tone with deadly obstacles.

What players say

Players like the premise and music but find the controls awkward with no key rebinding, the difficulty unfair, and the game glitchy. The short length is a plus for some.
