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 quiet, meditative adventure that uses simple panel-based puzzles to uncover a gentle story.

What players say

Players describe a short, clever first-person puzzle game built around a single mechanic of raising and lowering platforms via 2D panels. They consistently praise the puzzle design but note that slow movement and lots of backtracking can make it feel tedious.
