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 mouse-only platformer where you lose celestial powers level by level, creating a pensive downward spiral through minimalist pixel art and procedural landscapes.

What players say

Players praise the clever reverse roguelite premise of losing powers as you progress, but most find the mouse-only controls frustrating and some encounter game-breaking bugs that stall progress. The game is very short, taking around an hour to complete.
