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 relentless, disorienting arcade scramble where you fight your own reflexes through a psychedelic tunnel, with control reversals that demand razor-sharp concentration to survive 180 seconds.

What players say

A short, difficult arcade runner where you guide a cat through a trippy tunnel. Players agree it takes only minutes to reach the end without mistakes, but one death sends you back to the start. Many note the game prevents normal quitting until you win, and some criticize the unbindable arrow-key controls.
