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 tense, precarious descent into an endless cave where careful jetpack navigation is constantly challenged by unstable footing and the threat of falling.

What players say

Players finish the four levels in just over an hour, and many wish it had more content or replay modes like time attack. The jetpack works like extra jumps rather than sustained flight, creating a floaty feel. Controls are fine on gamepad but cannot be remapped, and Y-axis inversion is absent, which frustrates some.
