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

You fling your indestructible child as a weapon through colorful pixel-art levels, guided by a deadpan, parodic sense of humour that keeps the action playful rather than intense.

What players say

Players say the dad humor is hit or miss in this short, basic platformer. Some enjoy the light tone, but others report crashes and a lack of direction.
