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 deliberately awkward zero-gravity platformer where every movement feels floaty and precarious, mixing tense precision with silly slapstick moments.

What players say

Players describe this as a balloon-pinball game in space with intentionally awkward controls. Many love the challenge, but a recurring complaint is that the final stage relies too much on luck, and players are split on whether that ruins the experience. The game takes about 5-6 hours to beat and has an ending with a big plot twist.
