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 nimble, brain-teasing platformer where you rewind and slow time to dodge obstacles and ride enemies to the goal.

What players say

Players enjoy a 2D puzzle platformer built around time manipulation abilities like rewind, slow, and stop. The game is considered very difficult, with a steep difficulty curve that tests creative thinking, but a generous undo system and demo keep frustration manageable. There is an integrated level editor.
