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 meditative, slightly unnerving journey through a world that shifts and hides based on what you choose to see.

What players say

Players compare Cassette Boy to Fez and Zelda, praising its creative core mechanic where objects only exist when visible. However, many find the puzzles repetitive and complain about confusing progression, minimal direction, and a bow that makes other weapons obsolete.
