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

Navigating a retro 2D pixel kingdom with tension from permadeath and stealthy dodging, balanced by a charming aesthetic and soundtrack.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short platformer (under an hour) where the intentionally slippery, unresponsive controls are the main challenge. The pixel art and calm music are praised, but many say the game is not worth its full asking price. Opinions split on whether the poor controls make for a fun challenge or just frustration.
