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 gentle, non-violent exploration through a procedurally generated mushroom world, with cozy pixel art and a lyrical soundtrack, focused on trading and discovery.

What players say

Players praise the trading system and inventory management as clever mechanics, but they split on the art style and the soundtrack's looped lyrics. The bouncy platforming takes getting used to, though a later item eases it. Several reviewers name developer Sylvie, calling it a signature weird but thoughtful world.
