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 playful, glitch-infused puzzle-platformer where you explore a sentient, buggy retro game world as a debug character.

What players say

Players praise the surreal, glitch-filled style and atmosphere, calling it a unique and fun platformer with creative levels and music. Movement feels loose but controllable to some, while others find the controls unresponsive or frustrating, and the load button is reportedly broken.
