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, punishing climb where each mistake can send you far back, demanding precise control and nerves of steel.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and mashup of precision platforming with a rage game structure where falling means losing most of your progress. Many complain that the character's bouncy inertia makes controls imprecise for a masocore game, and some report RNG enemies that can ruin a run. Reviews split on whether the challenge is fair or just frustrating.
