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 minimalist 2D action game focused on tight running and jumping gameplay, designed to be playable alongside a video in transparent mode.

What players say

Players describe it as a free minimalist 2D action game where you eat smaller shapes and avoid bigger ones, similar to the cell stage of Spore. Reviews are split: some find it a decent time-waster, while many complain the AI is unfairly fast and agile, especially on the first level, and that the game feels abandoned by the developer.
