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 charming but punishing precision-platformer where you guide a cute turtle through dangerous natural and magical obstacles in a pixelated fantasy world.

What players say

Players say the game is a challenging and fun puzzle-platformer, but they are frustrated by the lack of checkpoints or save points, forcing full restarts. Some report an unbeatable early-game obstacle and inconsistent damage from hazards. A reviewer notes the main story ends quickly, with extra levels feeling tacked on.
