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.

A gentle, low-stakes retro platformer where you guide a cute cat through colorful pixel worlds, jumping and solving puzzles to find fuses and repair a spaceship.

What players say

Players enjoy the variety, as the game blends platforming, puzzles and even a shooter across short stages, finishing in about an hour. A couple of reviews note delays in the controls and uneven pacing, though most find it charming and not difficult.
