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 gentle puzzle platformer with cute pixel art and easy controls, set in a post-disaster coastal city where you guide black square creatures through simple, story-light rescues.

What players say

Players praise the clever corpse-piling and time-rewind mechanics, but the difficulty spikes sharply after the first chapter, and many complain about the lack of background music and unclear puzzle solutions. Some call the pixel art charming, others find the controls and level design frustrating.
