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 deceptively relaxing jazz soundtrack accompanies a punishing side-scrolling platformer where you navigate deadly traps as a mafia boss.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly call this an asset flip and a fake game, a quick cash grab using stolen assets and a basic engine template from the same developers as Bear Adventure. The movement is broken and floaty, and the game has no checkpoints, so a single death can undo hours of progress.
