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 nostalgic, light-hearted collectathon that feels like a cozy, first-person romp through small, colorful mini-biomes with friendly NPCs and simple tool-based progression.

What players say

Players praise the soothing music and scenery, calling it a charming, low-stakes platformer for exploration and collecting. But they also warn that the game hogs CPU, with one calling it the only game to pin their CPU at 100%.
