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 pixelated digital world where precision platforming and puzzle-solving create a methodical, intellectually demanding feel.

What players say

Players say prog.1 is a very short precision platformer where platforms vanish after you touch them. They call it frustrating but satisfying to beat, though some find the jumping unresponsive and note there is no shadow under the character.
