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, physically expressive platformer that feels like creeping through dark, destructible corridors where any wrong step could be your last.

What players say

Players call it a short, janky obstacle-course game with ragdoll physics and giant cats that just watch. Splits opinion: some enjoy it as a silly time-waster, while others flag it as an asset flip with bad controls and nothing scary.
