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 modest student-made puzzle platformer where you rewind time and create clones of yourself to solve physics-based puzzles and avoid traps.

What players say

Players recognize ChronoClone as a student project from Ohio, and opinions split on whether that makes it a charming free puzzle platformer or an incomplete homework dump on Steam. The time clone mechanic is interesting, but some complain that dying deletes your clone and forces repetition, and a few reviewers still compare it favorably to Portal and Braid.
