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 cooperative puzzle-platformer that feels methodical and tense when racing the clock, yet playful and approachable when working through elemental obstacles with a partner.

What players say

Players are split on the co-op: remote play together fails for many, so the game shines only in person. Length is short, but nostalgia for the Friv and flash era drives most recommendations. Some report a level 14 difficulty wall and a lingering menu music bug.
