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 contemplative and challenging first-person puzzle adventure where you manipulate triangular platforms to navigate a surreal, minimalist world.

What players say

Players are split on this puzzle game. Many praise the creative triangle-placement mechanic and level design, but just as many find the controls too finicky for precision, making puzzles feel tedious rather than satisfying. The lack of controller support and long gaps between saves add to the frustration.
