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 first-person puzzle game where objects behave differently when observed, creating a quiet, logic-twisting test of observation and spatial reasoning.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle concepts built around object permanence, comparing it favorably to Portal and Superliminal. However movement feels slippery and the game is very early access, with only 9 to 11 levels and some bugs, making it a very short experience.
