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, retro-style platformer where you chase mice and crows as a wall-climbing cat through a pixelated factory.

What players say

Players say the game is a short and fun 20-level experience with cool retro music and good art, but achievement bugs and an overpriced 30-dollar tag sour it for many. The climbing and roll mechanic feels weird and is poorly explained.
