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 lighthearted, short top-down action-puzzler where you telepathically control objects to solve puzzles and fight bosses at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players praise the short, heartfelt adventure for its creative possession mechanic and an ending that frequently brings tears. The game takes about an hour, controls feel smooth, and the bullet-hell combat requires clever dodging rather than shooting. A few dissenters call the ending unsatisfying or the gameplay bland.
