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 nostalgic, physics-driven puzzle platformer where you guide a tiny robot through a 1990s house, solving clever environmental challenges while navigating the emotional weight of changing the past.

What players say

Players praise the time-travel puzzles and multiple endings, but some find the controls finicky and report game-breaking bugs that lock achievements. Opinions split on the endings, with a few calling them disappointing.
