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 demanding, precision-heavy platformer where mastering a constantly shifting set of movement mechanics is the only way to survive a bizarre and punishing climb.

What players say

Players praise the depth of advanced movement mechanics like bhopping and surfing, but warn the game is extremely hard and the tutorial is poorly explained. Some get motion sickness, and control complaints are common.
