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 darkly funny puzzle-platformer where you create clones of yourself to solve puzzles and navigate a chaotic, ethically compromised sci-fi world.

What players say

Players praise the clone-sacrifice mechanic but note the game is short at 2-3 hours with little replay value. Many mention a surprising story with an environmental message, though puzzles lean easy and the second half offers no challenge.
