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 punishing precision platformer where you must contort a robot into outlines to survive procedurally generated obstacles, demanding frustrating repetition.

What players say

Players enjoy Robo Pose as a fun time-waster based on Hole in the Wall, but many say the 3D mode is nearly unplayable due to a tight timer and unclear collision, while the 2D mode is much more enjoyable. Reviews note bugs like unresponsive menus and black-screen cutscenes, and players are split on whether the timer needs adjusting.
