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 sidescrolling adventure through dim pixel-art tunnels, mixing light puzzle-solving with robot combat.

What players say

Players finish this platformer in about an hour and praise its wall-walking mechanic and pixel art. Many call it tough but fair, though some find the boss's high health tedious and a few note respawns are slow.
