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 thoughtful and imaginative puzzle game where you physically assemble letters into pictures to explore a writer's fractured memories and inner world.

What players say

Players are drawn to the unique concept of forming images from letters, but many find the puzzles frustrating because objects are too abstract and require pixel-perfect placement that the game does not communicate well. The story about a hospitalized author is considered deep by some and vague by others, and opinions split on whether the short runtime is a strength or a letdown.
