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 frantic, punishing arcade platformer where you constantly die in creative, darkly humorous ways while sprinting through a chaotic, hand-drawn doodle world.

What players say

Players praise its unique doodle art style and sense of humor, but they are split on the enjoyment: some find it fun and creative, while others call it a shallow endless runner with broken mechanics. The game is very hard from the start, and several players note that achievements are broken and the developer has abandoned it.
