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 lighthearted 2D platformer with branching paths and portal travel, focusing on puzzle solving and a story about rescuing a brother.

What players say

Players enjoy the clever puzzles and cute presentation, but many find the requirement to replay levels to collect all hidden scrolls frustrating. The game has about 70 levels and gets surprisingly difficult, though some report getting stuck in the ground.
