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 grueling, physics-driven climbing game that tests patience and perseverance through a treacherous snow mountain filled with traps and pitfalls.

What players say

Players describe Mainly at Rest as a rage game in the style of Getting Over It, but they say its difficulty comes from bad design rather than fair challenge. The map relies heavily on blind jumps, making progress feel like trial and error. Many also report performance stuttering during gameplay, and a few note that the developer used assets without proper credit.
