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 brisk, cartoony hack-and-slash platformer with tight controls and a playful sense of humor, punctuated by tough battles against varied enemies and large bosses.

What players say

Players praise the charming art, pun-heavy dialogue, and tight level design, but note that the knight feels heavy and the difficulty spikes sharply, especially in boss fights with lengthy checkpoints. It is a short, classic-style platformer that runs well on Steam Deck.
