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 cute and funny precision platformer with dark humor, where you guide a promised kid through a treacherous natural habitat using rhythm-based jumps and new abilities to find clues left by his loving mom.

What players say

Players praise the unique no-jump-button mechanic where you time sneezes to clear obstacles, calling it innovative and funny despite its gross cat-themed bodily humor. The difficulty is compared to Celeste, though some find the auto-jump frustrating on controller and the game short, with one reviewer reporting a buggy update made it nearly unplayable.
