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 short, satisfying burst of fluid parkour and gory katana slicing, perfect for quick, mindless fun.

What players say

Players compare it to Neon White and praise the fluid movement and satisfying katana slashing. The game is short with about 48 levels but encourages replay for leaderboard times and three-star ratings. Some note the early difficulty can be frustrating due to finicky enemy hit detection.
