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 moody, vertical descent through a vast, ancient structure, mixing deliberate climbing with retro pixel graphics and a sense of isolated discovery.

What players say

Players are split on the movement: some love the precision and puzzle-like traversal, others find the climbing and grapple janky. Atmosphere and scale are widely praised, but a brutal difficulty spike in the final chapter frustrates many, with a new mechanic introduced there often called unreliable.
