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, intense reflex challenge where you zip through the air using a grappling rope and dash to evade enemies, requiring precise timing.

What players say

Players call it a short, free platformer with polished grappling and dashing that feels great early, but the final boss frustrates due to dash input issues and precise grappling range. The art and characters are charming, and while the game is a fair challenge, some enemy designs feel unfair.
