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 meditative yet challenging puzzle-platformer where time ebbs and flows with atmospheric sounds, inviting careful exploration of a surreal, minimalist world.

What players say

Players say it is a short and atmospheric puzzle platformer with no dialogue, made by a single developer. Reviews split on difficulty: some find it perfectly balanced while others call it frustrating and sanity-testing. The controls are simple but some players find them painful.
