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 clean, straightforward puzzle game about creatively using paint to navigate linear 3D spaces.

What players say

Players love the paint mechanics that inspired Portal 2's gels, especially the adhesion paint that makes surfaces walkable. It is a very short experience, about an hour, but a few players note progress does not save.
