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 precision climbing game that demands perfect timing and punishes every mistake, creating a tense psychological struggle against the mountain.

What players say

Players describe this as an extremely difficult precision climbing game in the tradition of Only Up, where success requires pixel-perfect landings and careful use of a run-charge jump. The controls feel slippery and the collision detection is strict, leading to frequent falls and frustration. Custom VRM model import works well and makes it a popular choice for streamers doing endurance runs.
