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 short, arcade-like loop of gaining speed and breaking through visual dimensions, with a surreal, atmospheric feel.

What players say

Players describe it as a chill arcade game with very short runs that get surprisingly difficult, especially with the dimension shift mechanic. There is a split on whether the 3D sections work well, and many hope the solo developer will add more content.
