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, retro run-and-gun platformer with humorous, lighthearted questing and precise gameplay.

What players say

Players call it a short, easy platformer that can be finished in about an hour, but many note it feels unfinished. There are complaints about missing basic features like controller remapping and the ability to drop through platforms, plus glitches like getting stuck on corners or clipping through levels. The pixel art and music get some praise, and it works on Steam Deck.
