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 swift and energetic dash through environments with constant movement and responsive controls.

What players say

Players call it a Jump King-style platformer with punishing wall bounce physics that make even the first jump a struggle. Most play with the built-in cheat to skip the difficulty, praising the cute protagonist and dynamic HCG. The adult patch must be downloaded outside Steam, which several reviews find cumbersome.
