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 methodical and atmospheric puzzle-platformer where you carefully navigate a desaturated world, restoring color through paint and logic, with a focus on exploration and environmental interaction.

What players say

Players praise the unique color-based puzzles and visuals, but warn of janky physics, particularly with glass, and frequent frustration with slimes. Some find the game too short for its price, while others appreciate the humor and chill atmosphere despite grammar issues from Bulgarian translation.
