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 fast, chaotic platformer where you blast and bash alien plants with simple, arcade-like controls in short, colorful stages.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art, chill music, and surreal humor, calling the short 1.5-hour campaign a fun pick-up-and-play experience. They note the controls are forgiving despite busy screens and that the game runs well on Steam Deck, but split on the story, some call it incomprehensible while others enjoy the weirdness.
