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 tense, precision-driven space platformer where every slight misstep sends you back to the start, demanding patient retries and pixel-perfect control.

What players say

Players praise the mouse-only controls as a unique challenge that feels satisfying once mastered, but agree it starts brutally hard with no checkpoints. Many compare it to Getting Over It or Jump King for its punishing vertical design, though the cute pixel art and dogs keep them coming back.
