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 control two characters at once with inverted and gravity-reversed controls, making each level a brain-teasing puzzle that tests coordination and problem-solving.

What players say

Players praise the gradual difficulty curve and fair but tough puzzles that test execution. The 100 levels take about four hours, and some note missing options like a restart button or pause.
