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.

What players say

Players praise this solo-developed Zelda-like for its fluid platforming, climbing stamina mechanic and exploration, comparing it to Wind Waker. Many note rough edges like frequent grammar errors and simplistic combat, but agree its passion and charm outweigh them. Completionists report around 32 hours for full playthroughs.
