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 tense, precision platformer where you race against a 60-second timer through a dimly lit dungeon, dodging spikes and collecting cells while the threat of total darkness looms.

What players say

Players praise the atmospheric 60-second light timer and pixel art, but many cite missing controller support, finicky wall-jump controls, and a confusing non-linear level layout. Some find the backtracking tedious and report a few bugs, while others enjoy the old-school challenge.
