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 frantic physics-driven climb where every swing of the rope and smash of the environment feels chaotic yet precise, with dark humour sprinkled into the destruction.

What players say
Players like the core loop of climbing quickly while water rises, but find it repetitive due to few level elements and clunky rope controls. There are performance complaints about GPU usage, and the Japanese localization is auto-translated with missing fonts.
