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

You pedal a naked, lonely man through a frozen, absurd post-apocalyptic world with precise jumps and strange whimsy.

What players say

Players find the story surprisingly emotional despite the absurd premise of a naked man on a tiny bike. Some express disappointment that it does not live up to the original browser game.
