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 carefully place each footstep through misty landscapes with physics-based controls, balancing calm exploration with the constant threat of a clumsy tumble.

What players say

Players are split between finding it hilarious and cringing at the dialogue, but most agree the gameplay is a rewarding challenge that can be skipped if you choose. Performance is solid and the physics are unpredictable, with one review calling out a notorious train section.
