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 race against time across a crumbling ice sheet, blending tense platforming with data-gathering mini-games to uncover climate science.

What players say

A short, free platformer that teaches climate science through its story and mini-games. Players appreciate the environmental message and how it makes complex topics accessible, though some find the controls unresponsive at times and a few see the message as propaganda. The speedrunning achievements are noted as challenging.
