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 methodical and emotionally charged puzzle-platformer where you cooperate with recordings of your past self, demanding careful strategy and problem-solving under quiet, tense pressure.

What players say
Players say the core mechanic of recording your past actions to cooperate with your future self is fresh and clever, making puzzles feel rewarding to solve. The same review warns that the final sector becomes a brutally hard precision platformer, a difficulty spike that flips the puzzle game into an action game and may disappoint.
