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 moody, monochrome puzzle-platformer that feels tense and oppressive as you navigate a dystopian world.

What players say
Players are split on Monochroma: many praise its moody art, soundtrack, and emotional story of two brothers, but just as many call the movement controls clunky and the jumping unpredictable, making precise platforming and timed puzzles frustrating. It is short, around four hours, and frequently compared to Limbo and Inside.
