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 quiet, melancholic exploration through a hand-crafted 2D world, driven by a gentle plea for connection.

What players say

Players praise the challenging but rewarding platforming with tight controls and charming music. They note the game starts easy but ramps up significantly, comparing it to Celeste, Hollow Knight, and Undertale. Some find the text heavy for ADHD players, while others enjoy the quirky dialogue and open world design.
