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 challenging retro platformer with a punishing difficulty curve, chiptune soundtrack, and a darkly funny story about recovering sweets and souls.

What players say

Players describe a short, challenging precision platformer with responsive controls and clever level design. It is notably easier than the same developer's other game, Dungeon Escape, though some reviewers find certain pixel-perfect jumps tedious rather than fun. Players can finish it in under two hours and 100% it in about five.
