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 cheerful-looking 3D platformer collectathon with a sinister undercurrent of psychological horror and choice-driven exploration.

What players say

Players praise the platforming and level design, calling it a fun retro collectathon with a horror twist. Many note it is buggy due to the Blender engine, with framerate issues on Steam Deck. The game takes 8 to 10 hours for a first playthrough, and players compare it to Super Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie. A small but dedicated community supports it.
