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 gentle, hand-drawn storybook platformer where you hop and dash through a magical forest, collecting memories under a starry sky.

What players say

Players praise the game's storybook art and fairytale narration, but many call the platforming frustrating due to inconsistent hitboxes and knockback. It's a short, free experience polished for a specific audience, with an unlockable hard mode after the credits.
