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 tense, precision platformer where every jump risks a bonk into the wall, blending old-school frustration with a lighthearted, self-aware tone.

What players say

This precision platformer elicits both rage and laughter. Players say momentum and wall bonk mechanics force constant overcorrection, with brutally tight drops and an annoying squeaky sound design that drives them crazy.
