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 breezy arcade runner where you glide through neon-lit geometric corridors with a calm, retro-futuristic pulse.

What players say

Players split on whether Synth Run is a challenging good time or a poorly made cash grab. Complaints center on imprecise controls and low production quality, while a few enjoy the difficulty and music.
