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 tense first-person puzzle experience where you carefully manage light and navigate deadly hazards, with death altering puzzle solutions.

What players say

Players call it a decent Portal imitation with solid puzzles but less refined movement and physics. It is short, taking about an hour to finish, and opinions split on whether it is merely okay or a fun buy for the price.
