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 calm puzzle platformer with a gentle layer-switching mechanic and a focused, quiet pace.

What players say

Players are split on Layers. Some praise its clever black-and-white layer-switching puzzles and short length, while others call it a buggy mobile port with broken achievements and shallow gameplay. The game offers 9 levels that require careful order of operations, but technical issues sour the experience for many.
