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

You flail and stumble through precise platforming by directly controlling each leg of a baby robot, turning clumsy chaos into acrobatic mastery.

What players say

Players praise the brain-bending controls where each leg is moved independently with twin sticks. The game is compared to Getting Over It but much friendlier, though the final level still spikes the difficulty. It works great on Steam Deck and supports co-op, but is also short, a first playthrough takes around four hours.
