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.

What players say

Players are almost unanimous that Gollum is a broken, unpolished game with dreadful movement and frequent crashes. Even after patches, some still find it unplayable. A few late-2026 reviewers say bugs are fixed and recommend it as a decent stealth platformer for fans, but the overwhelming majority call it a waste of money even on deep discount.
