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 physics-heavy platformer where precise dashes and bounces feel rewarding but every tiny error punishes you, wrapped in a darkly humorous and colorful world.

What players say

Players describe this as a brutally hard platformer in the Getting Over It mold, where you bounce an apple upward with a chaotic, unpredictable control scheme. Many say it is extremely frustrating yet addictive, and several note the level design takes a turn for the worse in the second half.
