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 cute but slightly unsettling robot navigates varied puzzle rooms where death resets progress, making each attempt tense and demanding.

What players say

Players say the difficulty comes from a broken camera and terrible controls, not clever design. The camera is described as the worst many have seen and the movement as unresponsive. Achievements are broken and some players even say the game is not worth getting for free.
