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 casual, block-shifting puzzle game where you guide Tetras through mazes by transforming them into shapes to fill holes and reach portals.

What players say

Players describe TETRA's Escape as a grid-based puzzle game disguised as a platformer, where you guide colored cubes by shape-shifting into tetrominos. Reviews are split on the trophy system: collecting three stars reveals a hidden trophy, often in an unreachable spot, forcing restarts. Some find the lack of an undo button frustrating.
