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 neon-drenched puzzle-platformer where you move through glitchy cyberspace, solving electrical-circuit challenges with a calm but persistent focus.

What players say

Players praise the clean puzzle design and the 80s inspired aesthetic and music, but almost everyone agrees the game is very short, around one to three hours. The puzzles stay on the easy side, with only the secret level offering a real challenge. A common complaint is the inability to rebind keys or invert the mouse properly.
