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

You clumsily wrestle a ragdoll through colorful physics trials with intentionally awkward controls, making failure slapstick and mastery satisfying.

What players say

Players compare it to QWOP and Getting Over It, praising the satisfying challenge of mastering a ragdoll's movement. Some note that an unbound keybind in the settings trivializes levels, and a few mention that keyboard controls are near-impossible while a controller is strongly recommended.
