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 charming, gentle puzzle-platformer where you guide a tiny fabric character through a cozy, hand-drawn world with light physics-based challenges.

What players say

Players praise the handcrafted look and a narrator that brings the story to life, but sentiment splits on the ending, some find it anticlimactic. The platforming is relaxed for most, though a few reviewers report buggy physics and cheap deaths. There are 45 puzzle-filled levels, with difficulty rising near the end.
