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.

A tense survival hike where you must manage mood and gear while navigating unpredictable weather and wildlife.

What players say

Players are split on HikeJam. Some find it fun with friends, but many call it glitchy, unfinished, and frustrating. The multiplayer is dead, the controls are unresponsive, and the grapple hook rarely works. There is no meaningful single-player content.
