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, first-person escape room in a damaged hot air balloon, where you frantically repair systems while plummeting through the clouds.

What players say

Players praise the intense feeling of height and danger while repairing a failing balloon, but nearly every review warns the game is very short with only one level and has not been updated since 2020, leaving it in an abandoned early access state. Controls are reported as awkward, especially on Valve Index.
