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.

What players say

Players are split. Some praise the punishing but beginner-friendly platforming and old-school design despite bugs, while many others report crashes, freezing, and controller issues that make the game unplayable. A common complaint is that the developers ignore bug reports and the early access update has stalled.
