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 brain-teasing puzzle platformer where you invert a stark black-and-white world to reshape obstacles and escape levels, demanding focus and patience against a moody cyberpunk backdrop.

What players say
Players praise the shift mechanic and the 120 levels of puzzles, but the experience is marred by crashes on launch and an abandoned online component that makes some achievements unobtainable. Players are split on the difficulty: some find the later levels frustrating with soft locks, while others appreciate the balance.
