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 tense, minimalist platformer that demands precision and patience as you push through factory depths against a tight time limit and limited lives.

What players say

Players describe a minimal precision platformer that relies on timing, where your character has only one jump height and no momentum. The game is short, around one hour, and most reviewers compare it favorably to the indie title LOVE. Some find the controls clunky, but many appreciate the straightforward challenge and hidden secrets.
