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 lonely but clever child explores the quiet, crumbling ruins of a city with her cryptic robot friend, solving puzzles in a tense, isolated world.

What players say

Players praise the story, art style, and comic-book cutscenes but are split on difficulty: puzzles are light, yet checkpoint placement and the final boss frustrate some. Performance issues and lacking cloud saves are minor complaints, while movement timing and missile aiming feel clumsy to a few.
