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.

A heartfelt, puzzle-driven journey through the memories of a steampunk inventor, blending lemmings-style challenges with narrative discovery.

What players say

Players are split: some praise the puzzles and touching story, especially in VR, calling it a 3D Lemmings with heart. But many without VR call the controls unplayable, describing slow movement and fiddly object placement. Long cutscenes that cannot be skipped also draw complaints.
