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 tense, brain-teasing puzzle-platformer where each screen demands careful planning and quick reflexes to navigate lasers and robots.

What players say

Players find it a challenging but fair puzzle-platformer that demands brainpower, not just reflexes. They praise the old-school design that lets you figure things out without tutorials, and note the difficulty can make you feel dumb. The pixel art and music are widely liked. One reviewer found a bug with lift controls, while another calls the physics a bit weird.
