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 fast, retro-styled dinosaur platformer with tight time-trials, chiptune music, and pixel art that feels like a polished but punishing 90s arcade runner.

What players say

Players love the precise movement and fast-paced time-trial levels, though some call it rage-inducing. Controller problems and abandoned support frustrate a minority, while leaderboards appear to have cheated times.
