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 breakneck, surreal parkour fever dream where you swing through glitchy worlds and die instantly on every surface.

What players say

This is an arcade grappling-hook game where players swing through short, synthwave-styled levels. Players describe the first half as fun but say the last world becomes brutally difficult with some unfair level design. There are complaints about the grappling hook not attaching to the intended target, and some players report broken controller sensitivity.
