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 playfully encouraging single-button jump game about taking small, precisely timed steps to lift a character's mood, feeling light and hopeful with a supportive tone.

What players say

Players split on whether this five dollar jump rope roguelike overdelivers or feels like a tech demo. Fans praise the detailed animation and the strategy behind upgrades, while critics say content runs dry within an hour and there is just one achievement. Performance is oddly heavy for such a simple game, and leaderboards are already infested with hackers.
