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 quirky puzzle-platformer that tricks you with its title and asks you to solve clever, funny levels using simple controls.

What players say

Players say this is a puzzle game disguised as a platformer, with levels that rely on reading the title for a clue. The humor and surprises please most, but a significant minority complain that many stages are simply hard platforming that requires luck or precision, and the inability to skip levels frustrates them.
