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 physics-based gliding game where you balance intense risk-reward close flying with graceful energy management.

What players say

Players compare it to Superflight, calling it similar but with more options. The controls are a common sticking point: many find them hard to learn and recommend remapping, especially for mouse and keyboard. Reviewers split on whether the game is relaxing or frustrating, and some note the scoring is tough. The content feels shallow, and collecting all cosmetics is grindy.
