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 relaxed, story-driven puzzle-platformer where you manipulate time to solve brain-teasing challenges in a cute, magical world.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle design and the three-star challenge that turns each level into a new puzzle, but many find the time-attack aspect frustrating because the controls are not precise enough for tight platforming. The game is short and sweet, with a lovely soundtrack, though some dislike the voiced cutscenes and the timer.
