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 2D action platformer where you hack, slash, or dash through a dark world while uncovering emotional truths and chasing speedrun times.

What players say

Players are split on this short student project: some enjoy it as a speedrun-focused platformer, but others call it an unfinished academic exercise with only one playable stage, poor visibility due to lighting, janky wall-sliding, and no music.
