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 individually control each leg of a two-legged spider with joysticks, learning precise acrobatics in a minimalist, atmospheric lair at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the game's unique control scheme where each leg is manipulated independently, though it requires a controller and has a steep learning curve. Reviews split on whether the difficulty is satisfying or frustrating, with some comparing it to Getting Over It. The atmospheric soundtrack and minimalist graphics are widely praised, while early access status means some bugs remain.
