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 frantic, precision-focused platformer where every jump demands razor-short reflexes and a single mouse click.

What players say

Players praise the mouse-only controls and fast-paced action, with many noting the difficulty ramps up significantly in later worlds. The parry system and boss fights are highlights, though some find the controls imprecise and compare it unfavorably to the free game Heartseeker.
