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 surreal and fast-paced adventure platformer where a cute little orange van slices through hellish demons

What players say

Players praise the emotional story about loss but are split on the controls, with some calling them clunky. The game is a 30-minute platformer built around a van with legs that gains new abilities through levels. A few note bugs that allow sequence breaks.
