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 tense and punishing precision platformer where every jump must be exact and failure is frequent, punctuated by darkly comedic, psychological horror elements.

What players say

Players praise the grappling hook and movement mechanics, finding them fluid and satisfying once mastered, though the early difficulty can be punishing. A minority report stuttering during jumps and unclear level design that makes progress frustrating.
