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 tense and precarious vertical climb where each handhold matters, mixing deliberate physics-based movement with a quirky, atmospheric world that rewards persistence.

What players say
Players say it is a punishing but fair physics-based climbing game with slick controls and good level design. The checkpoints are far apart, making each death costly, and some fun mechanics like swinging balls feel underused.
