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.

What players say

Players say Squigley is a punishing precision platformer with a unique movement system, but its lack of checkpoints and poorly explained mechanics lead to frustration. Opinions split: some admire its challenge, others find it counter-intuitive and not worth the hassle.
