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 colorful 2D platformer where you flee alien lifeforms while collecting resources to fuel your jetpack and ship, with a modest sense of urgency from the one-way journey premise.

What players say

Players say the game is a repetitive fetch quest where you collect six stones on each map, and one early level is reportedly impossible. The achievement for collecting minerals is considered grindy and not fun.
