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 2D platformer with arcade combat, stealth and boss fights that get progressively harder, set in a cartoony, darkly humorous sci-fi world.

What players say

Players praise the artistic cutscenes and creative bosses, and note the game is short enough for speedrunning. There is some frustration with the final boss lacking a health bar and absorbing too many bullets.
