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 tense, frantic sprint through a haunting pixel-art forest, balancing escape from persistent monsters with moments of relief in a calm alternate mode.

What players say

Players call it a short, nostalgic flash game throwback with simple pixel art and one-button controls. They appreciate the quirky obstacles but some find it too simple, with the menu called confusing and levels only varying in enemy speed.
