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 deliberately frustrating, meta-absurd roguelike that traps you in a monotonous loop with a deadpan warning not to look for secrets, punishing curiosity with probable death.

What players say

Players are sharply divided on this hour-long genre-hopping platformer. Some find the constant switching between basic minigames (platformer, top-down shooter, sidescroller) charming and well-paced, while others call it a janky, boring mess with clunky controls and repetitive design. Many note the lack of guidance and an annoying soundtrack.
