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 hand-drawn 2D platformer with a deceptively cute look that feels both calmly creepy and gently relaxing as you dodge and combo enemies in a dark fantasy world.

What players say

Players love the hand-drawn black and white art style, but a tutorial softlock and unrebindable keyboard controls frustrate many into refunds. Those who push through find a short 1-3 hour platformer with a unique mouse-click combat system and high difficulty, especially in bosses.
