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 fast-paced retro platformer where you repeatedly die and instantly retry tight, trap-filled levels while chasing perfect times.

What players say

Players call it a solid precision platformer with tight controls and a great soundtrack, but note the difficulty spikes, brutal final boss, and the lack of widescreen support as drawbacks.
