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 retro pixel-art puzzle-platformer where you hop through icy levels with a stick, collect fish for a friend, and unlock buddy abilities in a friendly, low-stakes quest.

What players say

Players praise its NES-style throwback design and sheer volume of content, but note the controls are intentionally tanky and the puzzle elements are mild. The lack of an English translation is flagged.
