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 frantic, time-bending tactical dance where you and a friend rewind and reorder past actions to outwit waves of enemies.

What players say

Players compare the time loop puzzles to Portal 2, calling it a unique strategy game where you create echoing copies of yourself instead of building towers. The combat is slow and methodical, with some finding it not for them, while others praise it as mentally demanding.
