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 cartoonishly spooky platformer where you frantically dodge traps and enemies through a dark, linear castle.

What players say

Players find it a short but fun platformer that is good value for the price. Controls are minimal with only jump and double jump, and several players mention the lack of controller support or key rebinding which makes it hard for left-handed play.
