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 frantically dart around a colorful room as a cute fruit, trying to paint tiles while dodging spinning saws in short, tense rounds.

What players say

Players call it Disc Room meets Superhot: you paint floors by moving, and time only flows when you do. Reviewers find it tougher than its cute art suggests but say deaths feel fair. They praise how each fruit level adds a new twist, though some achievements are broken.
