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 quiet, minimalist black-and-white platformer where flipping color reversals redefine gravity and space, making each leap feel precise and dreamlike.

What players say

Players praise the art and music but are split on the experience: some find it calming and meditative, others say the precise platforming becomes stressful and tedious. The dual-world mechanic is unique, though controls are criticized as janky and physics as repetitive.
