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, punishing precision platformer where you leap through breathtaking, detail-rich hellscapes as a cute but vengeful deer god.

What players say

Players praise the cute deer and fun moments, but opinion divides on the difficulty. Many call the platforming punishing, with slippery controls and brutally tight jump distances, especially in dark levels that remove the double jump. The few maps are short, and some feel the harsh jump checks are there only to stretch playtime.
