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 short, linear first-person puzzle game where you shrink and grow to navigate test chambers, with a clinical, low-key sci-fi atmosphere.

What players say

Players report a very short free game (10 to 15 minutes) that feels like a simple portal-inspired puzzle box with a shrinking and enlarging mechanic. The sarcastic voiceover and backrooms-like aesthetic give it personality, but many note the camera sensitivity is too high, environments feel barren, and the puzzles lack challenge, leaving some feeling it is more a demo than a full experience.
