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.

What players say

Players praise the clever Möbius strip levels and the unique two-cube control mechanic, but agree it is very short with only 15 levels and some wish there were more. Split on difficulty: some find it easy, others point to a few hard puzzles. The lack of camera controls frustrates some, though a controller offers a fix.
