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 simple, repetitive solo adventure of jumping and ducking through cave environments while grinding coins for upgrades and cosmetics to climb leaderboards.

What players say

Players describe a minimalist 2D platformer with procedural levels that starts simple but gets complex. Many praise the music and say it is addictive for quick sessions. A few compare it to Geometry Dash with upgrades, and note an active developer.
