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 whimsical family-friendly action-adventure through a vibrant mythological world, with light platforming and puzzle-solving as you seek to restore light and justice.

What players say

Players admire the Persian-inspired art and music, but opinions split on the execution: the rhythm-based combat and platforming are called unique and addictive by some, while others find the controls unresponsive and the combat repetitive. The game is buggy with awkward camera angles and poor voice acting, and comparisons to Prince of Persia are frequent.
