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, precise platformer where you must match colors to survive while hunting small, colorful characters.

What players say

Players report brutally hard levels from the start, with one taking 30 minutes to clear stage 1-1. The color-matching survival mechanic is unique but the game is barebones, the controller does not work, and saving is confusing. Reviews split on whether it is charming or a low-effort title.
