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 metroidvania platformer that mixes light action-RPG mechanics with a dry, comedic tone and a darkly whimsical story, feeling like a playful dungeon crawl with a ghostly co-host.

What players say

Players praise the deep RPG systems with many skills, spells, and items that force meaningful build choices. The movement feels stiff and old-school, which some enjoy for nostalgia, while others find it frustrating even on easy difficulty.
