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.

What players say

Players compare Probability 0 to Downwell and Spelunky, praising its tight roguelike descent design and soundtrack but split on whether the controls feel stiff and the starting weakness makes progress frustrating. Several also note the lack of controller support and a design choice requiring multiple upgrades to negate fall damage.
