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 calming, cerebral puzzle game where you guide two parallel characters through a serene, surreal world with gentle ambience and gradual challenge.

What players say

Players appreciate the unique split-screen mechanic and relaxing atmosphere, but many find the puzzles too easy and rarely requiring simultaneous control of both sides. The game is short at around two hours, and players are split on whether the difficulty is satisfying or underwhelming.
