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

You control a cute character running along an endless tree trunk, rotating the path to avoid branches in a quick but relaxing arcade challenge.

What players say

Players say Branches is a direct copy of a free Unity asset, repackaged and sold on Steam. Controls feel unclear and unintuitive, and unlocking characters requires a heavy coin grind. The game quickly becomes repetitive.
