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 fast-paced, physics-driven platformer with a darkly comedic yet tense atmosphere as you control a determined egg dodging hazards and collecting costumes.

What players say

Players describe it as a physics puzzle game starring an egg with arms, with a mix of comedy and frustration that feels like Getting Over It. The checkpoint system keeps it from being too punishing, and players split on whether keyboard or controller controls are worse. It offers a few hours of entertainment.
