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 lighthearted, pun-filled action-strategy game where you pounce on enemies and take control of them to explore a mythological underworld as a clever orange cat.

What players say

Players enjoy the puzzle action of controlling enemies as an orange cat, though some find the controls and hitboxes clunky. The game is short, around an hour or two, and has points where the difficulty spikes sharply.
