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 cute but precise 2D platformer where you guide an alien through colorful lab levels, shooting enemies and learning new mechanics.

What players say

Players describe a short, 90-minute precision platformer with 100 levels that introduce new mechanics as you go. The controls feel tight and the checkpoints are generous, though some levels can be frustrating. Most find it easy to moderate, and it runs well on Steam Deck.
