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 tense, first-person puzzle survival game where you navigate surreal, stylized environments while avoiding your own past actions to survive time-paradox loops.

What players say

Players praise the creative time-clone paradox concept but are frustrated by the lack of checkpoints or saves, forcing full restarts on failure. The puzzles rely heavily on trial and error, and the second zone's maze and repetitive tasks drain patience. The game is short, around 20 minutes, and feels unpolished.
