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 playful, brain-teasing time-travel puzzle-platformer where you rewind and replay moments to figure out each obstacle, with quirky consequences when timelines break.

What players say

Players enjoy the time-manipulation puzzles and say the level design is creative. Many praise the speedrun tracking for each level, but some note the final section loses tension when an invisible mode removes the ability to die.
