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, retro-inspired platformer with comedic revenge energy and tight controls across dozens of levels.

What players say

Players say it's a surprisingly functional platformer that leans hard into its intentionally ugly aesthetic. Controls are decent but the wall jump can be janky, and levels are long with no checkpoints, which causes frustration.
