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 punishing pixel-art action-platformer where you die frequently to tricky enemies and bosses while grinding for upgrades.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and retro atmosphere but dislike the lack of controller support, unchangeable keyboard controls, and performance issues like lag and frame drops. Many find it punishing from the start and repetitive, while a split says the challenge is rewarding after early frustration.
