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 deceptively simple 2D runner that feels ruthlessly tense, where one mistake punishes you harshly with a darkly humorous twist.

What players say

Players say this is a brutally hard climbing game in the Jump King mold, but with a unique wall jump system that adds its own twist. The jumping feels quirky and unintuitive at first, and the heavy penalty for falling saps motivation to retry, though some find it addictive.
