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 frantic, fast-paced 2D platformer with physics-driven grappling hook mechanics and challenging rogue-like progression.

What players say

Players praise the climbing escape structure and the hook tool, which brings a Spelunky-like chaos. They split on tolerance for the difficulty, some call it brutal and frustrating early, others find it rewarding once the interactions click. Performance on Steam Deck is consistently reported as solid.
