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 guide two characters upward through a dark, puzzle-filled forest, solving obstacles while a lurking menace keeps the atmosphere tense.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the co-op puzzle design and art, but many find the game unplayable due to broken controls that cannot be remapped. Designed for two players sharing a single controller, the single-player mode is widely criticized as unworkable. The game is short and was abandoned by its developers early in its life.
