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

You navigate a lab as a test subject, methodically exploring strange stones while the quiet tension of corporate secrecy weighs on every step.

What players say

Players compare it to Portal and Lightmatter, praising the light-based puzzle mechanic and well-integrated story. It is short (around 4 hours) with difficulty that ramps up but never feels unfair. Some mention optimization problems.
