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 tricky, physics-based puzzle platformer where you manage four characters who fall in different directions, blending dark humor with surreal, hand-crafted levels that challenge your logic.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle design for making them control two characters with different orientations, calling it a brain-rewiring experience. The controls are unintuitive at first and keyboard is recommended, but the physics puzzles are creative once learned.
