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 tight, minimalist action-puzzle game where precise timing and manipulation are key to navigating clean, obstacle-filled stages against the clock.

What players say

Players describe APT as a momentum-based puzzle platformer with a Portal-like look and a punishing difficulty curve. The game requires precise timing and reflexes for tethering and jetpack jumps, with some frustrated by screen shake and spark effects that obscure the crosshair. Players compare it to bunnyhop and surf maps from Counter-Strike.
