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 fast-paced retro platformer with a playful, cartoony feel and a focus on classic jumping and combat action.

What players say

Players praise the huge number of collectibles and the ability to swap between multiple visual styles and playable characters mid-level, but they split on polish: some find the sliding controls and well-hidden secrets charming, while others report clipping, cheap deaths, and poor checkpointing that ruin the platforming. The developer is noted for being responsive to feedback.
