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 playful, stress-free platformer where you control an adorable ferret sneaking through a space station, collecting items with no risk of failure.

What players say

Players praise the cute ferret protagonist and the novel mechanic where carrying widgets slows you down, opening multiple routes through levels. But many find the controls clunky, the level visuals repetitive, and backtracking for lost money tedious, leaving them split between calling it charmingly fun and just okay.
