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 clunky, physics-driven fish parkour where you flop and fall through biomes, pushing friends off platforms in a frustratingly funny climb.

What players say

Players describe an intentionally awkward climbing platformer where the fish's physics often cause getting stuck in geometry. The camera is widely criticized, and the checkpoint system is seen as broken or confusing. It is very difficult, leading to frequent rage quitting among friends.
