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 quiet, heady exploration where you slowly unravel impossible geometry, each solved chamber leaving you with a calm sense of awe.

What players say

Players praise the clever 3D spatial puzzles and a hint system that shrinks each puzzle into a miniature version. They split on difficulty, with several saying it spikes sharply after the third chamber and turns obscure. Some also complain that loading screens spoil upcoming level names.
