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 colorful, minimalist exploration game with adaptive ability choices and puzzle-platforming challenges in alien environments.

What players say

Players like the colorful graphics and the upgrade system that offers choices, but they are split on the difficulty. Some praise the challenge and tight design, while others find the one-hit deaths, no map, and pixel-perfect jumps frustrating. A few note the game is short, around an hour for a quick playthrough.
