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 brisk 2D platformer that feels like a classic NES or Game Boy game, offering tight controls and tough but fair levels.

What players say

Players report the game is frequently unplayable because the developer removed its manifest from Steam, making it impossible to download even though it has a price tag. Those who can play describe a simple retro platformer where you collect keys, but it lacks essential features like a controls menu, stage counter, or level select, forcing blind trial and error.
