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 short, atmospheric first-person parkour experience through a surreal, gravity-defying world that feels both mysterious and relaxing.

What players say

Players describe Matter as a short, abstract psychedelic platformer with a standout soundtrack and visuals that pulse to the music. It lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, and opinions split on whether its repetitive mechanics wear thin or make for a brief atmospheric trip. Several warn it may cause motion sickness or sensory overload.
