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 relaxed, stylized first-person climb through colorful, surreal landscapes.

What players say

Players praise the early grappling and movement but split on the later stages, which shift to tedious laser puzzles and get frustrating. A game-breaking bug that permanently disables jump can force a restart, and the short campaign has no level select, punishing missed collectibles.
