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 challenging 2D action platformer with fast-paced combat and pixel art visuals set in a threatened fantasy world.

What players say

Players say it is a short, polished 2D platformer with simple but satisfying combat and lovely pixel art. It is linear and level-based, not a Metroidvania, and very chill to complete. Some find the beginning a bit slow and the platforming a little stiff, but the dog companion is a consistent highlight.
