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 side-scroller that demands precise dodging and coordination, with hand-drawn charm and a story that unlocks only after extreme challenge.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn pixel art and manga-style cutscenes woven into the action, but agree it is consistently hard, with boss fights demanding pattern memorization and many retries. Controls have a unique feel that some find frustrating, though updates improved responsiveness. Players split on whether the quirky movement adds charm or annoyance.
