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 comically frustrating game where you wrestle with awkward limb controls to swim upstream, laughing at failures but gritting your teeth to succeed.

What players say

Players call Swimpossible! a rage game with a surprisingly cozy look. It controls each limb like QWOP, which clicks for some but trips up others early on. Fans of Getting Over It will recognize the vibe, and a few mention the Twitch integration as a highlight.
