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 gentle but cautious expedition across a lush alien world, mixing relaxed puzzle-solving with moments of threat from traps and enemies.

What players say

Players consistently call this a very short platformer, beatable in under 30 minutes. Many complain about awkward controls, especially knockback from damage and enemies that blend into the background. The gameplay loop of fetching keys to open doors feels repetitive.
