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 thoughtful black-and-white dreamscape where you rewire gravity and perspective to untangle layered, physics-defying puzzles.

What players say

Players describe it as stepping into an Escher drawing that uses gravity and world rotation to create puzzles. The black-and-white hand-drawn visuals are widely praised, but some warn of motion sickness from constant screen rotation. Reviews note the game is challenging without being unfair, and enjoy the quiet, thoughtful pace.
