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 pixel-art puzzle-platformer where each click is a timed strike against the dungeon walls, demanding quick reflexes and precise movement through handcrafted levels.

What players say

A slick and fast action platformer that is very short, can be finished in about 15 minutes, but packed with replayability through speedrun leaderboards and difficulty settings. Players consistently praise the unique click-to-move sword mechanic, monochrome pixel art, and soundtrack, though some wish the story and writing were stronger.
