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 suffocating, rage-fueled crawl through crushing darkness where every movement feels trapped and precarious.

What players say

Players split on this physics-based climbing game. Many praise the unique arm controls, story, and atmosphere, comparing it to Getting Over It. But a large number report gamebreaking glitches, softlocks, and a frustratingly floaty ruins level, with some saying it feels unfairly buggy rather than challenging.
