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 lighthearted yet treacherous climb where teamwork is encouraged, obstacles keep you on your toes, and the absence of saves makes each attempt feel tense and rewarding.

What players say

Players report a bug-ridden precision platformer where characters slide off ledges and jump backwards for no reason. Many say it is only tolerable with friends, and that solo play leads to boredom or rage. The community is split between those who find it a fun mess with friends and those who call it an unplayable waste of money.
