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.

A hardcore climbing and parkour game where you feel the strain of escaping a grim office by overcoming difficult obstacles.

What players say

Players describe this as a punishing parkour game about escaping an office tower, harder than it looks and prone to rages, but rewarding to finish. Movement clicks once learned, though falls often send you back to the start with few checkpoints, which some find frustrating. Players compare it to Only Up and note it was made by a two-person team.
