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 retro 2D action platformer with a pixel art style, driven by a story of a flightless bird fighting for survival against a hostile society.

What players say

Players are split on this retro platformer. Some praise its emotional story and nostalgic vibe, while others find the controls clunky, traps hard to see, and difficulty inconsistent even on easy mode. A few report bugs like getting stuck or losing all ammo after dying.
