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 slow-paced, gentle puzzle game where you guide an old man through a dark, surreal world using light and shadow to solve environmental puzzles.

What players say

Players enjoy the clever light-and-shadow puzzle mechanics, noting the game is short, easy, and well-suited for casual play. Some warn that cutscenes are violent and not appropriate for children.
