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 crisp, high-stakes top-down platformer where each precise jump and quick failure pushes you to try again instantly.

What players say

Players praise the simple mechanics and lo-fi aesthetic, but criticise stiff controls, a missing tutorial, and a sharp difficulty spike in chapter 2 when limited-dash pickups appear. Keyboard configuration bugs and the lack of achievements are common complaints, and some find the game simply not fun.
