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 frantic 2.5D platformer where you aggressively swing and fling your prosthetic arm to brutally dispatch enemies and slingshot through puzzles.

What players say

Players praise the core arm-throwing and grappling mechanic but are split on execution: some find it fun and rewarding, others call it glitchy and frustrating. Many note the lack of story or cutscenes, and a few report technical issues like falling through floors and poor controller support.
