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 slow, methodical climbing game that feels both punishing and darkly comedic, paired with a philosophical narrator who speaks directly to your struggle.

What players say
Players call it brutally frustrating at first, then surprisingly meditative once you learn the controls. Many mention the lack of checkpoints makes setbacks devastating, but speedrunners find deep satisfaction in shaving seconds off their runs.
