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 relentless, unforgiving runner where every misstep topples you instantly, demanding precise timing and extreme caution.

What players say

Players are split on this punishing precision platformer. Many call it brutally difficult with trial-and-error gameplay and bad hitboxes, while others find it fun and rewarding. Performance issues like high CPU usage and a lack of save points are common complaints, and late-game green platforms are considered unfair and buggy.
