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

Paradox Paradigm is a challenging and mentally demanding puzzle-platformer where precise timing and careful logic are required to synchronize past and present selves in a tense, solitary journey through space-time.

What players say

Players praise the time-portal concept but strongly criticize the lack of a tutorial, save system, and graphics options. The controls are described as fiddly, especially the jump, and the game is short with a very hard final level.
