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 creative use of color as a puzzle mechanic, often comparing it to Baba Is You. The level design is considered clever and well-balanced, with secrets and a satisfying difficulty curve. Progress carries over from the demo, and some find it fun to speedrun.
