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 gentle, story-rich platformer with a nostalgic, hand-drawn aesthetic and a slowly unfolding mystery as you guide two characters through many modest levels.

What players say

Players describe this as a difficult 2D platformer with tight controls and around 90 levels. There is significant praise for its low price and content, but complaints focus on missing quality-of-life features like windowed mode, the inability to alt-tab, and a refresh rate bug that ties movement speed to monitor frequency.
