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 difficult platform rope-jumping game where you guide a poor robot through hazards with a mix of casual cartoony visuals and unsettling psychological horror moments.

What players say

Players say this game demands extreme patience, as a single mistake forces a full restart from the beginning. While reviews split on whether the high difficulty is fun or just frustrating, most agree the sense of accomplishment after finishing is real. Content is limited for the price.
