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 clean, abstract puzzle game where you methodically flip gravity to solve spatial challenges.

What players say

Players compare it to Portal but without portals, praising the fresh gravity mechanic and clever level design. While many enjoy the challenging spatial puzzles, opinions split on consistency: some love the cleverly designed levels, others find certain puzzles a slog. The slow walking speed and floaty physics draw mild complaints.
