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 nostalgic, heartfelt retro action-platformer with a focus on exploration and fast-paced movement.

What players say

Players are split: some appreciate the free, heartfelt birthday-gift origin and the choice mechanic, while others call it an unfinished, glitchy Metroid-like with a broken map and no doors.
