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, precision-focused physics platformer that demands fast reflexes and creative problem-solving, with optional hard mode removing safety nets for leaderboard chasers.

What players say

Players report the game requires an Epic Games account even on Steam, and the tutorial is broken. Despite that, some enjoy it as a brutally challenging party game with friends, comparing it to a Souls-like where greed leads to death.
