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 challenging oldschool puzzle-platformer with tight controls and gradual complexity, set on an abandoned planet with a mysterious atmosphere.

What players say

Players describe this as a level-based puzzle platformer, not a metroidvania despite the store tag. It is compared to Portal for its teleporter-based puzzles and called a softcore precision platformer. Some report performance stutters and an auto-shutdown bug, while others note it starts clunky but improves with new abilities. Players disagree on the genre classification.
