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 brisk, combat-focused climb through a snowy, ruined landscape where you dash, jump, and blast enemies with ranged and melee attacks.

What players say

Players praise the polished visuals and tight controls for a student project, but consistently note the game is very short at around half an hour. Opinion splits on the combat: some find it fun while others call it the weakest part, especially the repetitive end boss fight.
