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 fast-paced 2D platformer with dark humor, pixel art, and RPG mechanics, where death and absurdity mix with multiple paths to finish.

What players say

A brutal physics platformer where players control a pogo stick by holding down the spacebar. Mastering the bounce timing is punishing yet rewarding, and the coin system adds high-stakes risk: lose all your coins if you fall too far. Reviewers split between calling it therapeutic once clicked or simply too demanding, with some noting the lack of customizable key binds.
