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 a shapeless organism by pruning and regrowing cells, navigating a desolate, beautiful world through tricky obstacles and mutated creatures.

What players say

Players praise the unique growing-and-erasing traversal mechanic and the post-apocalyptic atmosphere, but split on the difficulty: some find the later puzzles, especially chapter 7, frustratingly luck-based and disproportionate, while others call the challenge rewarding. The game is short, has no story, and feels polished from the 2015 era.
