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 pixel-art platformer where you cautiously explore a dangerous but quiet cave system, surviving creatures and discovering hidden treasures.

What players say

Players praise the music and art style, but many find the platforming physics awkward and easy to overshoot. The game is short at about two hours for four chapters, lacks a clear story, and the developer stopped updating it. Players are split on the controls.
