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 gentle, colorful precision platformer with retro-inspired levels where you hop through traps and puzzles to rescue cute ducks.

What players say

Players are divided on Ducky. Some enjoy the nostalgic music and level-select map, but many criticize the finicky controls and unresponsive jumping that make platforming frustrating. The game is short, around two hours, and the manual save system is easy to overlook.
