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 methodical puzzle-action game where you record and replay your movements to navigate a ruined world as a recording robot.

What players say

Players praise the unique recording mechanic and the gentle, well-balanced difficulty, though some say the mechanic could have been explored more. The short 7-8 hour run is complemented by charming monochrome pixel art and an ending that surprises and even moves some players.
