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 cute but brain-teasing dungeon puzzle game where you must carefully navigate tight rooms while jabbing enemies with an oversized spear

What players say

Players praise the clever core mechanic of wielding an oversized spear in cramped rooms, but sentiment is split: many find the puzzles too easy or repetitive, and several report persistent audio bugs and a lack of developer support. The forced level restart on death and no undo feature frustrate some.
