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

Exploring a vast underground mine with a quirky family, navigating through tricky platforming and using special items to rescue pets in a retro-inspired, punishing adventure.

What players say

Players describe it as a tiny Metroidvania where resources are strictly limited, making it more strategic than forgiving. The difficulty is high and healing is scarce, which splits players between those who love the challenge and those who find it too punishing.
