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, twitchy arcade game where you control a fragile irradiated bird with precise hop timing while dodging industrial pipes in a dark, steampunk-tinged side-scroller.

What players say

Players call it a Flappy Bird clone with a difficulty that surprises, some comparing it to Dark Souls and others noting it takes 6 hours to reach the global high score. Players split on the story, with a few saying it made them cry while most focus on the score attack.
