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

You jump between glowing platforms in a pulsing light world, matching your movements to the beat as the music shapes the environment around you.

What players say

Players praise the music and visual style but find the platforming controls frustrating and unresponsive. Complaints focus on the long respawn times, a tutorial that freezes movement, platforms that fail to register jumps, and a lack of content variety that leaves the game feeling unfinished.
