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 surreal, minimalistic runner with cold-wave music and punishing difficulty that feels like a retro-future fever dream.

What players say

Players are split on this surreal runner. Some find it pretentious with bland visuals and grating voice acting, while others love its simple left-right gameplay, trippy aesthetic, and challenging speed. Several note that achievements are broken and the game can cause eye strain.
