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

You carefully plan each move in a quiet, time-bending puzzle where every second counts alongside a cute cat companion.

What players say

Players finish in 3 to 5 hours and praise the timeline rewind mechanic that requires both planning and precise timing. The cat companion is a highlight, though some find the later levels rely too much on trial and error. A free expansion DLC adds more puzzles.
