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 lighthearted retro platformer where you swing across stages as a little frog, with gentle challenge and playful exploration.

What players say

Players praise the tight grappling physics and say it is easy to pick up but hard to master, with a speedrun mode and many secrets. The game is short, about three hours to beat. Some report annoying checkpoint placement or settings that do not save, and the cursor not locking to the window on PC. Steam Deck handheld controls work poorly.
