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.

What players say

Players praise the core mechanic of only jumping when falling from ledges, calling it creative and rewarding. However, they report the level-sharing servers are shut down, the story ends unsatisfactorily, and the game suffers from visual clutter that makes platforms hard to read. There are also persistent bugs like crates breaking on moving surfaces and long respawn times.
