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 slow, methodical puzzle-platformer where you manipulate simulated liquids and machines in a lonely, steampunk world.

What players say
Players praise the fluid physics and original puzzle design, calling it one of the best puzzle-platformers even years later. Many note the controls feel floaty or imprecise, and especially hate the ladders.
