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 first-person puzzle action game with a mysterious sci-fi narrative and a tense atmosphere as you explore a gravity research facility gone wrong.

What players say

Players compare it to Portal and call it a mixed bag. The gun and gravity puzzles earn praise, but nearly everyone criticizes the poor voice acting, floaty controls, and general lack of polish. The whole thing is very short, about two hours.
