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

You move an invisible assassin through hand-drawn notebook pages, solving grid-based puzzles while glimpsing a child's emotional life in the margins.

What players say

Players praise the clever level design and narrative, comparing it favorably to Portal. The story, told through a middle schooler's notebook, is unexpectedly touching. The puzzle difficulty starts easy but ramps up significantly in later worlds, and the game takes about four hours to complete.
