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 brutally tough platformer where you repeatedly die and restart, managing rocket fuel and heat while crawling through hellish biomes with a dark sense of humor.

What players say

Players describe a brutally difficult climbing game with a jetpack that feels deliberately awkward to steer. The game gives almost no instructions, its checkpoints are nearly useless, and death means starting over. Many compare it to Jump King or I Wanna Be the Guy, and several note it is the developer's first game.
