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 surreal, quietly contemplative parkour through lush caves and alien landscapes that feels more like a meditative journey than a high-speed platformer.

What players say

Players praise the dreamy atmosphere, music, and thoughtful themes about nature and identity, but are split on the controls. The movement is described as tanky and imprecise, with the wallrun often broken, while the platforming can be fun once mastered. The game mixes 3D parkour with tetris-style puzzles, and the story is seen as beautiful but sometimes unclear.
