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 brisk, retro-style platformer where precise jumps and quick reflexes are needed to overcome enemies and obstacles.

What players say

Players call this a very short platformer, around 30 minutes long, with no checkpoints or continues -- dying means starting the stage over. The controls are simple, combat is easy once you use collectible card abilities, and bosses can be stunlocked. Some find the no-save design frustrating, while others see it as a brief, retro-style diversion.
