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 quiet, minimalist puzzle game that rewards patient exploration and personal discovery of its simple mechanics.

What players say
Players say the game is clever but very short, often under an hour, with a minimalist design that teaches new mechanics without tutorials. Some feel it is more of a demo or a mobile port, though the price matches the length.
