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 and challenging platformer with hand-drawn visuals, lively exploration, and a whimsical, story-driven adventure.

What players say

Players say this metroidvania has tight platforming and hand-drawn art that evokes old-school games. Boss fights and some platforming segments feel unfair, and enemies are repetitive and unresponsive. The developer added difficulty modes, and the game runs well on Steam Deck, but there are occasional audio bugs.
