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 dual-realm puzzle-platformer where you shift between matter and energy to explore interconnected 2D worlds, solving puzzles and overcoming difficult platforming challenges.

What players say

Players praise the gorgeous art and magical cat protagonist, but many find the realm-switching platforming grows tedious quickly. The game is very short, around 1-2 hours, and reviewers compare it unfavorably to Ori, citing stiff controls and a confusing story with poor translation. Opinions split on whether it is a relaxing short experience or a repetitive walking simulator.
