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 light, whimsical adventure where you casually collect power-ups to solve a silly problem with a bouncy, easygoing pace.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, cozy collectathon platformer with no enemies and a relaxing vibe, though achievement hunting turns diabolically hard. The soundtrack is limited to a few Touhou covers that loop. Players split on controls: some find them stiff at first, others say they tighten with upgrades.
