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 control a brave cat in a cape, jumping carefully through dangerous dungeons filled with traps, using wall climbs to collect coins and gems in a cozy yet tricky platforming challenge.

What players say

Players consistently criticise the controls as floaty, heavy, and erratic in mid-air, making precision platforming frustrating. The game is very short (around two hours) with repetitive traps and a lack of anti-frustration design, though a few find it simple and chill. One reviewer calls it a cheap knockoff of RITE.
