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 challenging, story-driven sci-fi comedy where you solve gravity-twisting puzzles with a sarcastic AI companion.

What players say

Players praise the gravity-based puzzle design but are split on the controls and pacing. Many find the long unskippable cutscenes and AI dialogue frustrating, while the puzzle-platforming itself is described as demanding and rewarding. The game is widely considered extremely hard, with some players unable to finish it.
