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 lighthearted arcade fantasy with perma death, colorful hand-drawn visuals, and simple controls, where you fight monsters and collect items across 16 levels.

What players say

Players mostly appreciate the effort but warn it is extremely hard with no checkpoints. They also report clunky controls and objects that blend into the background. Some mention it has no Russian translation despite the developer being Russian.
