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 methodical retro platformer where careful analysis and repeated attempts are rewarded, with an optional brutal difficulty layer.

What players say

Players are split on this free, short platformer: some praise its hand-crafted puzzles and hidden secrets, while others complain about slippery controls, backtracking, and dated pixel art that looks like MS Paint. The game can be finished in about 20 minutes and has a challenging difficulty.
