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 slow, methodical isometric puzzle game where you bend reality through alchemy in a shadowy, mysterious dungeon.

What players say

Players say it is a short and simple puzzle-platformer that takes about 30 to 45 minutes to complete with little replay value. Some note glitchy collision with enemies and a few janky moments.
