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 beautiful, fast-paced parkour romp through serene open-world vistas, with chill music easing your climbs and tense speed runs.

What players say

Players consistently compare this to Refunct, with most saying Refunct has better controls and level design. Some enjoy the open-ended cube collection and short runtime, while others find the movement floaty and frustrating, especially the wallrun and walljump mechanics. The game is very short, finishable in under an hour.
