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 and a friend work together in a brightly lit lab solving puzzles and platforming while communicating about what each of you can see, with a light, comedic tone and a gentle sense of urgency from patrolling guards.

What players say

Players love the chaotic co-op where each player sees only the other's path forward, leading to hilarious trolling and communication breakdowns. A notorious maze section tests friendships, and there are no save points so you restart from scratch. Reviews say quick bug fixes keep things smooth.
