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 melancholic pixel-art journey through shifting forms and puzzles, where each death opens new paths and abilities in a dark, mysterious prison.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle-driven gameplay built around four forms that change with each death. The movement and dialogue are often called slow, and combat feels clunky and minimal. Most finish in 4 to 8 hours, with some completing it in 2 to 5.
