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 deceptively cute precision platformer that challenges your dexterity and patience with puzzle-like levels that shift in difficulty based on your own choices.

What players say

Players call it a tough precision platformer that demands skill and patience. The shape-changing mechanic directly impacts how you shoot and move, and the time-pressure adds a layer of strategy. Content is short but built for replay through branching paths and multiple endings.
