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 brutally simple, unforgiving climb that mixes silent tension with absurd, deadpan humor from a sentient snowball.

What players say
Players describe a demanding momentum-based platformer where mastering the snowball's weight is key. Reviews consistently criticize the achievements for requiring up to 150 completions, calling them disrespectful of time. The physics can feel inconsistent and the controls sluggish, but beating the game is satisfying for genre fans.
