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

It feels like a hyper-mobile, stylish action romp where you zip through stages with a grappling hook and wall jumps, chaining combos while unlocking cosmetic gear.

What players say

Players compare it to Mega Man X and Zero series, praising the art and fluid animations but criticizing bugs, sluggish controls, and a large hurtbox. Some say levels are short and bosses easy, while others mention camera glitches and crashes that can block progress. The developer has released updates, though some note patch notes are hard to find.
