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 claustrophobic, noir-infused platformer where anxiety narrows your view as you unravel a grim story through puzzles and desperate combat.

What players say

Players call this a short, story-driven side-scroller that blends puzzles with light combat, often comparing it to reading a novel. They praise the dark narrative about loss and trauma but warn it can be disturbing, and many recommend waiting for a sale given the 2-4 hour length.
