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 tactical retro platformer with a slow, plump cat and a bulky bazooka, blending old-school charm with methodical pacing.

What players say

Players say it's a hardcore 90s-style platformer with tough bosses and a cute fat cat protagonist. Control is a sticking point: some find it slippery on gamepad but fine on keyboard, while others call the controls outright terrible. Bugs are mentioned but called non-critical.
