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 frantic, pixel-art platformer where you dash through ancient ruins, timing precise jumps under pressure while competing against recovery drones.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and smart, single-screen level design built for speedrunning. The pursuit of platinum times and leaderboard rankings offers strong replayability, though some find the medal requirements punishing.
