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 methodically coordinate with echoes of your own past to solve block-based puzzles in quiet, isometric spaces.

What players say

Players enjoy a puzzle game built around time travel, but opinions split on the controls and difficulty. Some praise the many levels, boss fights, and creative multiple-solution puzzles. Others find the unremappable controls uncomfortable and the later dexterity challenges frustrating. The difficulty increases noticeably after the first world.
