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 methodical puzzle game where you carefully navigate environments as a spider, using wall-climbing and web-slinging abilities to solve challenges at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players are split on Spider. Many call it brutally difficult with janky physics and unresponsive controls, especially hating an eagle enemy. Others appreciate it as a cheap, speedrunnable challenge and compare it to Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy.
