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 lighthearted puzzle game where you guide a cat through time to sneak past guards and eat fish, feeling clever and playful rather than intense.

What players say

Players praise its time-manipulation puzzles that require planning across multiple timelines, calling it a pure logic challenge with no hand-holding. The game is compared to Braid and Creaks for depth, though many note a steep learning curve with minimal tutorial. Reviews mention a satisfying 'mortal view' after solving each level, but warn it is not for casual puzzle fans.
