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 fast-paced, exploration-heavy first-person adventure with a playful, colorful world and tough boss fights that reward persistence.

What players say

Players praise the huge variety of unique and challenging boss fights, calling them the game's strong point. As a metroidvania, exploration is solid but the difficulty can be uneven, with some feeling forced to use specific weapons or paths. The art style and sound get mixed reactions, from charming to droning.
