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

You guide a pumpkin-headed scarecrow through cartoonishly creepy rooms, hopping over traps and dodging hazards in a light, casual platformer with a spooky theme but no real tension.

What players say

Players describe it as a very simple, fine little platformer with a cute gimmick of bouncing around as a pumpkin. Complaints focus on a missing pause button and a camera that stays at your character's height, making it hard to see danger above you.
