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 frantic and punishing platforming rush that demands split-second precision and relentless speed.

What players say

Players praise the smooth platforming and find the game deceptively challenging after an easy start, with strong speedrunning appeal and leaderboards. The developer is noted for being responsive, and the community is active on Discord. There are mixed reports on visuals, and players expect more content and a multiplayer update in the future.
