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 surreal, rhythmic first-person shooter where player moves through an open world solving puzzles with music-based bullets, emphasizing discovery over instruction.

What players say

Players compare it to Manifold Garden and praise its psychedelic art and logical puzzles, though some find the bouncing shots tedious and luck-based, especially without the aim assist. The game is short, around 6 hours, and rewards figuring out its mechanics.
