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 and tense platformer that demands precision and creative problem-solving as you navigate a hostile world with your rebuilt robot companion.

What players say

Players strongly split on this precision platformer. Some love the demanding challenge and thrill of competing on time trials, while many others find it frustrating due to no checkpoints, confusing level layouts, unclear platform distances, and a one-button jump that feels limiting.
