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

You feel lost in a shifting, silent labyrinth where gravity bends to your will and every new orientation forces you to think again.

What players say

Players praise the gravity-shifting mechanic that lets you walk on walls, but opinions split sharply. Some find it a brilliant, challenging puzzle-platformer with a grief-themed narrative, while others call the controls clunky, the audio grating, and one puzzle in the Bargaining chapter reportedly broken despite multiple "fixes". Many draw comparisons to Portal.
