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 fast-paced puzzle-platformer where you line up ricochet shots and navigate timed levels with precise movement and style.

What players say

Players praise the mix of puzzle and FPS elements with a unique bounce mechanic, often comparing it to Portal. The soundtrack and monthly leaderboards keep them coming back. Some note the game still feels like a prototype, with slow movement and menus that lack polish.
