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, first-person parkour gauntlet through lethal sci-fi corridors, where the pressure mounts as traps multiply and the soundtrack pulses.

What players say

Players are split on this runner, some find the difficulty rewarding as they master the movement and puzzles, while others call the controls unfair and the learning curve a cliff. A few mention motion sickness, and several note that level content begins repeating after an hour or two.
