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 deceptively cute but punishing platformer where you swing a cat's tail with precise physics, each crash prompting a guess at the cat's puzzling reasons.

What players say

A short but brutally hard precision platformer built around a single hook mechanic. Players are split on the normal difficulty, calling it a strong challenge, while the hell difficulty is widely considered almost impossible. Many compare it to Jump King.
