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 blistering first-person action platformer that blends source-engine bhopping with blade jumping for high-speed, precision movement through a haunting sci-fi world.

What players say

Players love the buttery smooth movement and the Y2K Bionicle-inspired world. Many call it one of the best movement games ever, but some struggle with the bunny-hop focus and refunded. Long-time players say it is too short for how good it is.
