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, precision-focused co-op platformer demanding perfect synchronization between two players.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and creative level design, calling it challenging but never tedious. Many highlight the generous co-op where only one person needs to own the game, and wish it were more popular.
