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 retro-styled, fast-paced platformer with stealth elements and mini-games that demands quick reflexes and memory.

What players say

Players describe a short retro puzzle-platformer with password saves instead of manual saves. It has frustrating moments, some find the controls slippery, and the gameplay involves waiting for camera patterns. Players are split on the difficulty, with some finding it petty and others feeling it is fair.
