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 quirky, comedic puzzle-platformer with dark twists where you switch between three unique animal characters to escape a mysterious alien lab.

What players say

Players praise the clever Lost Vikings-style puzzles and pun-filled dialogue, but split on whether the controls are frustrating or fine. The puzzles start easy and grow quite challenging in the second half, and the whole game is short enough to finish in a few hours.
