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, exploratory platformer where you sneak to catch souls in a whimsical mix of stealth and puzzle-solving.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art, music, and humorous tone, but opinions split on difficulty: some find it a fun challenge while others cite untelegraphed one-hit-kill enemy attacks and broken platforming controls. A few note controller compatibility problems.
