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 tense, mind-bending puzzle-platformer that challenges you to synchronize two contrasting characters across mirrored worlds.

What players say

Players are split on Through the Mirror. Some enjoy the brain-teasing mirror mechanic and simple gameplay, while others find it boring or frustrating due to trial-and-error level design and short length. The game takes about 3-5 hours to complete and has trading cards.
