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 dystopian steampunk mini golf game where you virtually escape a gloomy world into a cloudy floating city, blending whimsical challenges with a tense atmosphere.

What players say

Players are divided on Vertiginous Golf. Some call it a charming, silly party game to play with friends at a discount, while others find it frustrating due to clunky controls and a bugged scouting bird that makes later levels nearly impossible. The steampunk setting and dystopian story are noted, but the voice acting and writing are widely panned for being terrible.
