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 frantic pixel-art platformer where you race home under a meteor shower, managing limited lives while the cute visuals belie the pressure.

What players say

Players call it a charming but punishing platformer where randomly falling meteors can ruin runs. The nine-life system forces restarts from the very start, creating frustration alongside the cute pixel art. Fans of rage games and speedrunning enjoy the variety, while others find the unpredictability unfair.
