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.

What players say

Players praise the charming story and art style, especially the book-genre levels, but consistently criticize the touchy controls, missing save feature, and camera problems that make platforming frustrating. Performance issues on Steam Deck and ROG Ally are reported, and some find the movement too basic. The game is completely free, which softens criticism for many.
