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 frantic, randomly-assembled arcade romp with a cheeky cartoon tone, demanding quick reflexes and persistence.

What players say

Players describe a free, frustratingly hard platformer with a troll-game sensibility, full of trial-and-error and insta-death from moderately high falls. They praise the varied level designs and hidden secrets but warn that controls feel overly sensitive and hitboxes are unkind. There is a cash prize for completing all trophies, a detail multiple reviews mention.
