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 and precise climbing game where careful aiming and bouncing create a punishing but rewarding journey upward.

What players say

Players describe a short but challenging physics puzzle game with a slingshot mechanic and checkpoints. Many compare it to Getting Over It, though some say it is less frustrating while others report rage quitting. The techno soundtrack gets a mention.
