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 tense, methodical climb where every handhold demands perfect timing and mistakes feel brutally costly, yet the game maintains an oddly dark humorous and surreal tone.

What players say
Players describe this as a brutally difficult climbing game that lives up to its name. Reviews consistently mention that lag spikes can cause the character's hands to let go, which is especially punishing near the end of a run. The game is compared to Getting Over It, with some finding it harder and others finding it slightly easier, but most agree it requires both patience and physical endurance.
