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 tense, unforgiving platformer where precise jumps on slick surfaces create constant dread and frustration.

What players say

Players compare it to Getting Over It and Only Up, controlling a sausage by aiming with the mouse and clicking for launch power. The game is difficult and frustrating but rewarding, with a narrator who adds humor. Some players note a few punishing falls that are easy to miss. The developer is responsive to bug reports. A speedrun mode is also mentioned.
