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

You glide and dart through the air as a bat, reimagining platforming as a dreamlike, upside-down dance of precision and freedom.

What players say

Players describe it as a brutally hard but fair precision platformer where you control a bat's flapping. It's short, around 2-4 hours, with generous checkpoints and a cute presentation. Some compare it to VVVVVV, Flywrench, or Campanella from UFO 50. The difficulty curve starts steep but becomes satisfying as you master the controls.
