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 and frantic retro-styled romp through a corrupted computer, mixing precise platforming with shooting and light exploration, all delivered with a darkly comic tone.

What players say

Players enjoy the retro-inspired platforming and numerous nods to classic games like Mega Man, though they report a frustrating double jump and a bug that can reset save progress.
