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-paced action platformer where you race against the clock through scenic, atmospheric worlds, relying on fluid movement and complex mechanics to overcome precarious obstacles.

What players say

Players enjoy the simple speedrunning loop and find the levels challenging, but some wish for a restart button and note the lack of movement sound effects.
