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 frantic, precise side-scroller where you play as an agile duck dodging relentless traps with quick reflexes and a touch of absurdity.

What players say

Players are split: some call it an asset flip and a fake game, while others praise the soundtrack and call it a challenging short platformer. A few compare it to the developer's earlier game Cats War.
