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 quick, tense arcade-style game where you hunt bugs using echolocation, balancing score chasing with dodging dangers in the dark.

What players say

Players describe this as a very short and cute score-attack game where you guide bats through stages using echolocation. The pixel art and bat designs get consistent praise, and collectors enjoy unlocking all achievements in about 3-4 hours.
