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 messy, frantic co-op platformer where you and a partner clumsily control a squishy abomination through a cartoonish yet grotesque world, constantly testing your communication and friendship.

What players say

Players say Struggling is a co-op game where awkward, physics-based controls are the point, making teamwork hilarious and chaotic. Reviews split on difficulty: some find it a fun endurance test, others call it obnoxiously hard with poorly placed checkpoints.
