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 delicate, painterly puzzle-platformer where rewinding time feels both meditative and intellectually rigorous.

What players say
Players praise the time-rewind mechanic as clever and central to the puzzles, but many find the later levels excessively difficult, with precision jumps that feel punishing. The story is cryptic and often described as pretentious, while the art and music are widely appreciated.
