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, no-pause speedrun shooter where every move is a split-second decision and failure means starting over.

What players say

Players love Rain Runner as a tight, pure speedrunning fix, comparing it to Neon White and SEUM. Completion times are under 15 minutes, but leaderboard chasing keeps players hooked for hours. A handful complain the game lacks a pause menu or settings to adjust mouse sensitivity.
