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 tricky physics-driven climb where you nudge a ball with mouse rolls, demanding precise timing and repeated attempts.

What players say

Players are split on whether the game is amusingly challenging or genuinely broken. The controls demand extreme mouse DPI and uncapped framerates, which can overheat PCs, and progress is sometimes blocked by platforms placed too high.
