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 straightforward 2D platformer with lighthearted pixel-art visuals and simple timing-based obstacles.

What players say

Players are split between those calling it an asset flip and those finding it a passable retro platformer. Many report missing options like fullscreen or controller support, and controls feel slippery. The game is short at 18 levels with no story.
