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 fast and thoughtful precision platformer where you control a boomerang and a character simultaneously, with a gentle sci-fi story woven between challenging levels.

What players say

Players praise the boomerang-based platforming and tight controls, with new mechanics introduced level by level. Many call the story emotional and surprisingly deep, touching on disability, while noting the game gets demanding but stays fair.
