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 quick, high-stakes vertical climb where each death resets everything, demanding precise movement and careful resource balancing.

What players say

Players describe a short vertical platformer where you climb a collapsing tower by jumping on blocks and enemies. The core gameplay is praised as unique and satisfying, but the final boss is widely criticized as tedious and unfair due to spike placement and a long fight. Reviews split on whether the short length and lack of tutorial are drawbacks or part of its charm.
