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

Lays careful platforming over a quietly unsettling and surreal dreamlike journey from a child's perspective.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and dive mechanic, but warn the final gauntlet requires a single sitting with no save option, a dealbreaker for some. Reviews split on difficulty: some find it fair, others nearly quit, and the one-hit kill mode amplifies frustration.
