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 navigate a dark 2D world solving physics-based puzzles with a tense, story-driven atmosphere.

What players say

Players compare it to Limbo and note it is a one-person student project made over four years. The game has no music, simple art and few settings, but its medieval historical themes and story are what set it apart. Many recommend it despite the roughness, while others find the lack of sound and muddy visuals frustrating.
