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 contemplative, minimalist platformer with a unique screen-wrapping jump mechanic and a calm, space-themed atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the minimalist art and space theme, but the standout is the screen-wrap gimmick where falling off the bottom sends you to the top. It is a short, cozy puzzle-platformer, often compared to a simpler VVVVVV, and the soundtrack gets special mentions. Some find it too difficult or too brief.
