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 minimalistic precision platformer where you guide a lost soul through dark, treacherous puzzles, with the option to share the challenge cooperatively.

What players say

Players describe this as a very short precision platformer, completable in under an hour. In co-op both players must finish the level or restart together, which reviewers note makes dying and laughing together the real fun. Some expected puzzles but found none. The atmosphere draws comparisons to Limbo.
