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 heartfelt and difficult journey through dangerous levels, balancing determination with a somber, introspective mood.

What players say

Players praise the art and music but consistently warn that the game is extremely hard, with finicky controls and glitches that cause characters to get stuck or fall through platforms. The lack of a save system forces restarts on quits, adding to the frustration despite a short 20-40 minute run.
