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 quick, arcade-style platform jumper where you constantly climb higher, collecting boosts and chasing high scores.

What players say

Players describe it as a fast-paced vertical platformer like Doodle Jump or Icy Tower with roguelite upgrades. It is praised as addictive and perfect for short sessions, though several note the lack of a tutorial can be confusing at first.
