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 relentless and punishing 2D platformer that demands extreme precision and patience, where dying repeatedly is the core experience.

What players say

Players describe a hard retro-style platformer with one-hit deaths and no mid-level saves, but the main complaint is that level 28 is broken and cannot be completed, making the game feel unfinished.
