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 fast, precise retro platformer with satirical humor where you chase gold medals to prove yourself the apex predator.

What players say

Players describe it as a pure precision platformer with a steep difficulty curve by level 4, but note helpful accessibility options to lower the challenge. The game is short, built for speedruns, and praised for its snarky humor and nostalgic feel. Players are split on the leaderboard design, which puts all difficulties into one list.
