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 tough 2D platformer where precise melee combat and careful exploration are punished by death sending you back to the start.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and fluid combat, but they split on difficulty – many find the final gauntlet buggy or punishingly hard. The game offers no save points and no mobility upgrades despite its metroidvania-like world. Several also note that enemies read your inputs, which can feel unfair.
