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.

What players say

Players describe Projected Dreams as a short, cozy puzzle game where you stack toys to cast shadows. Several mention the game's length at around 3-5 hours, and that each chapter introduces a new twist like cloning or making items invisible. A few find the physics imprecise when trying to balance objects, and opinions split on whether the challenge is satisfying or too simple.
