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 serene, dreamlike endless runner where you float and fall through hand-drawn skies, focusing on calm precision and atmospheric immersion.

What players say

Players describe it as a chill, low-gravity climbing game with beautiful sumi-e art and jazz music. You get three jumps after each landing and can transform into a dragon. There is no way to save progress mid-run, and while many find it relaxing, some say it falls into an awkward middle ground between being too easy to be engaging and too game-like to be truly zen.
