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 frantic and punishing maze game where you must constantly rotate the world to navigate traps while under constant threat.

What players say

Players agree the controls are floaty and often break, with slow rotation and a jump that sends characters flying. The game is tough: traps have oversized hitboxes and levels can feel like tutorials placed too far in. It has a humorous story and minimalist pixel art, but the physics frustrate as often as they challenge.
