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 short, minimalist dark puzzle-platformer that feels tense and mysterious as you navigate a dreamlike nightmare.

What players say

Players praise the atmospheric Limbo-inspired visuals and sound, but many report frustrating control jank and camera panning that kills pacing. A game-breaking bug in the final section stops some from finishing. It is a free, one-hour game that some find clever and others derivative.
