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
Guiding colorful rectangles through floating obstacles feels meditative and gently emotional, with a soothing narrative and playful physics.

What players say
Players are split on the gameplay: some find the puzzles fair and the platforming tight, while others say it gets tedious and repetitive, especially near the end. Nearly everyone agrees the narration and music carry the experience, making players care about characters who are just rectangles.
