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 demanding physics-driven platformer where mastering the deliberate, weighty controls is the key to navigating ever-changing underground caves.

What players say

Players praise the fun gameplay loop and tight physics, though the unorthodox controls take getting used to. The game is very difficult but rewarding to beat, and some report it sometimes does not work on Steam Deck.
