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 contemplative cooperative journey through beautiful ruins that teaches real meditation while maintaining a subtle undercurrent of threat.

What players say

Players praise a cooperative platformer that replaces combat with puzzle-solving and guided meditation, each character having a unique multitool. A few note early access glitches, and the game is meant for chill couch co-op, not solo play.
