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 vivid pixel art action-platformer with dense puzzles, tight controls, and a narrative-driven journey through a colorful but troubled world.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and boss designs, but are split on the story, some love its dark, character-driven narrative while others find it cringe or overly linear. The game has no in-game settings menu and its keyboard controls are widely criticized as poorly implemented.
