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 gentle, slow-paced platforming stroll through varied terrain, accompanied by a calm song and simple save-point check-ins.

What players say

Players describe a short platformer where each platform changes jump height or speed, calling it a cute but clunky holiday distraction. Reviews split between meme praise about life changing and serious complaints about wasting time, with some finding it semi-hard and others too easy.
