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 carefully paced, momentum-driven puzzle platformer where each move feels deliberate as you figure out how to navigate without jumping.

What players say

Players praise its originality and the clever way it rethinks platforming by removing the jump button, relying on momentum and gravity instead. They consistently note the difficulty spikes, especially the optional star requirement that demands completing puzzles without dying, which some find frustrating.
