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 short, story-driven 2D puzzle-platformer where you switch dimensions while exploring a dark, mysterious world as a wounded, fragile protagonist.

What players say
Players say the game is a very short puzzle-platformer with a dimension-shifting mechanic, completed in about an hour. It has decent pixel art but reuses assets too much, and the story fails to deliver. Many find it overpriced for its length, and there is a sudden difficulty spike near the end.
