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 short, upbeat retro platformer where you zip through Old West areas as a cute cat blasting mutant vegetables.

What players say

Players describe a short, linear metroidvania with beautiful pixel art and music. Pacing is uneven: the first boss is a difficulty spike while most enemies are trivial, and the final area is confusing. Reviews split on whether the simple, fast gameplay is a pleasant bite-size experience or too shallow.
