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 charming pixel-art side-scroller that mixes precise platforming and combat with light puzzle-solving as a wizard launches fireballs through varied fantasy environments.

What players say

Players describe a short, simple retro platformer with cute pixel art and easy-to-learn controls. It takes about three hours to beat and runs well on Steam Deck. Some find it too easy and the platforming a bit clunky, while others appreciate the generous checkpoints and hidden secrets in each level.
