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 control two siblings, one a shadow and one a light, as they navigate a hauntingly familiar school with light-and-shadow puzzles while bickering through voiced dialogue.

What players say

Players enjoy the clever puzzle mechanic of controlling two characters across shadows, but nearly everyone agrees it is very short at around 20 minutes and lacks a save feature.
