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 punishing 2D platformer that balances extreme difficulty with a surprisingly encouraging and darkly humorous AI narrator.

What players say

Players enjoy this challenging 2D platformer for its rage-inducing levels and interactive music. One reviewer compares it favorably to the game Slash Chord.
