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 frenetic tile-dodging puzzle-platformer where the floor crumbles beneath you, forcing quick moves and careful planning.

What players say

Players describe it more as a reflex and speed game than a puzzle game, with a steep difficulty spike at level 76. Opinion splits on whether the game is relaxing or frustrating, especially with the speedrun achievement some call 'RSI Simulator 2017'. It includes a well-regarded level editor and user-created maps.
