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 cute but punishing climb where each failed attempt teaches you to move with tighter precision under the cave's oppressive stillness.

What players say

Players say it is a tough but short precision platformer where dying repeatedly is expected. An optional assist mode helps those who struggle, and people mention the atmosphere and soundtrack as highlights, though some find the world a bit hollow with room for more lore.
