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 brutally demanding speedrun-focused sports game where every millisecond counts and failure teaches the controls through trial and error.

What players say

Players describe a fast, punishing platformer with one-shot runs and no checkpoints. The wall climbing is slow and frustrating, but the daily challenge keeps people coming back. Opinions split between those who love the minimalist precision and those who find the controls clunky and the levels too large from the start.
