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 linear, atmospheric platformer where you explore dark fantasy worlds, solve puzzles with combinable abilities, and battle enemies in a magical yet melancholy setting.

What players say

Players praise the variety of abilities and puzzles across long, visually distinct worlds, but find combat clunky and easy to cheese though the serene soundtrack and exploration rewards keep it engaging.
