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 retro pixel adventure where you rewrite reality with developer tools to uncover a glitchy, cruel truth.

What players say

Players are a game developer who falls into their own creation. The puzzle-platformer tracks a karma system, with a choice to kill enemies or make them 'clock out' via clever environmental puzzles. A split exists: some find the movement stiff and the puzzle logic repetitive, while others praise the meta storytelling and retro filter options.
