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 relentless precision platformer where every leap and wall cling must be perfect to survive a labyrinth of instant-death traps.

What players say

Players describe a short, hard platformer where you can only run right and jump. The controls feel slippery and you cannot move left. Levels repeat similar trap setups, and some players report performance lag. The game has no achievements, and long-time players note development stalled early on.
