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 swing a trusty lasso through trap-filled jungles with a goofy, confident swagger and a thirst for treasure.

What players say

Players describe a short, non-violent metroidvania with fun movement upgrades and a large map for its price. But a progress-tracking bug can block completion and teleporters are unmarked on the map, splitting players.
