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, deliberately janky pixel-art platformer where every slow, precise move feels tense against a dark supernatural backdrop.

What players say

Players report a very short free game under 30 minutes, often played only for a single achievement. The deliberate 3-4 fps limit and clunky controls divide opinion: some see a homage to retro jank, others find it annoying. The final boss can cause multiple game over screens.
