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 nostalgic, simple 2D platformer that evokes the feel of classic childhood games.

What players say

Players call it a true spiritual successor to Rayman 1, with precise platforming and creative levels. Reviews split on difficulty: many love the challenge, others find it infuriating due to hitbox quirks and precision demands. The grappling hook in extra levels is a sore point for some.
