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 dreamlike platformer that is sweet yet exhausting, mixing colorful visuals with traps and puzzles that require clever decisions.

What players say

Players praise the art style and puzzles, but note the game is short and unfinished: it has 10 levels of a planned 20. The gameplay is a simple puzzle-platformer, not a metroidvania, and the English-only text and lack of achievements are mentioned.
