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 tense and delicate climb where one misstep sends you plummeting, balanced by hand-drawn charm and calming music that can be silenced.

What players say

Players say it's a precision platformer where bumping your head sends you sliding back, often to the start of an area. The cute art and strong music contrast with the brutal difficulty, and many compare it to Getting Over It or Jump King. A minority find the physics unfair, especially on slopes and seesaws, but most agree the level design teaches you to improve over repeated attempts.
