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 slow-paced puzzler where you gently reverse time to guide a little girl through obstacles, feeling calm and contemplative.

What players say
Players describe a short, relaxing puzzle game that can be finished in about 30 minutes. The time rewind mechanic is the main hook, and levels are simple but well-designed. Some find the art style reminiscent of Monument Valley, while a few note the player animation looks janky. Reviews agree it is worth the low price, but the 12-20 levels leave some wanting more.
