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 clever, punishing platformer where movement itself is a gimmicky and deliberate act, making simple tasks feel like a frustrating trick.

What players say

Players love the novel scroll-wheel movement, calling it weird at first but addictive. The game is split into levels with checkpoints, making it less punishing than similar titles like Getting Over It, though it still delivers plenty of rage-inducing moments. Many say the difficulty feels fair, with failures usually feeling like the player's fault.
