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 hack the environment to solve physics-based challenges inside a stylized retro computer world.

What players say

Players praise the smooth controls and funny writing, with many calling the soundtrack excellent. The game offers a fair challenge and built-in competitive times that encourage speedrunning, though some find it rage-inducing.
