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 minimalist precision platformer that feels frantic and punishing, where each death forces you back to previous levels, but a casual mode offers a gentler alternative.

What players say

Players describe it as a challenging but addictive precision platformer with 100 levels and two difficulty modes. It draws comparisons to Roenko Games' dungeon games and the developer's follow-up, We Are Eva. A common complaint is that directional inputs carry over between levels, causing unintended movement.
