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.

A cute side-scrolling platformer where you swap between three cats to use their unique abilities and overcome enemies.

What players say

Players praise the cat-switching mechanic and puzzle-platforming, but a softlock on level 5's underwater section halts progress until the developers patch the required bomb cat. Control issues on keyboard are common, making a controller almost mandatory.
