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 disorienting, psychedelic tunnel runner where inverted controls and surreal visuals challenge your coordination and perception.

What players say

Players praise the input swap mechanic for keeping the gameplay fresh and challenging, but some find it lame. The game is split into many smaller levels instead of one long run, which players find more manageable. A few report crashes on launch that remain unpatched.
