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 cooperative pixel-art treasure hunt where you and a friend work together through tricky puzzles and traps with a playful, adventurous tone.

What players say

Players praise the witty dialogue and charming pixel art, but split on the puzzles: some find them a delight, others rage-inducing. The core gameplay is single-screen Sokoban-style block pushing with two characters, but you can only push, not pull. Online multiplayer is broken and the developers have abandoned the game, though couch co-op works well.
