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.

What players say

Players praise Escape Goat 2 as a clever one-room puzzle platformer with charming art and music, but many disagree on difficulty: some find it satisfyingly challenging while others call late-game levels frustratingly precise, especially the secret rooms that demand near-perfect platforming.
