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 meditative, introspective puzzle journey through a dying fractal world, where manipulating recursive landscapes mirrors processing grief and creative crisis, accompanied by a mysterious cat.

What players say
Players praise the puzzles and surreal, fractal-inspired visuals, but the story splits them: some find it pretentious or boring, others enjoy its strangeness. The game is frequently compared to Manifold Garden and Antichamber, with a slow narrative wrapped around the puzzle sections.
