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 demanding puzzle-platformer where you feel clever and pressured as you shoot platforms to navigate a strange, ambiguous facility.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple but challenging platformer that requires patience and trial and error. Some love the difficulty and multiple ways to solve stages, while others find the constant button smashing painful. The prototype lacks save features and controller support, and is harder than its successor.
