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 frantic scramble across floating islands, where quick movement and adapting to both enemies and chaotic Twitch chat keep the pressure on.

What players say

Players enjoy the movement and parkour, but many note the game needs polish. Some call it an asset flip while others find it charming for a free title. Performance complaints appear alongside praise for the atmosphere and day-night cycle.
