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 contemplative, slow-paced puzzle-platformer where you explore a dying world with a sense of quiet melancholy and discovery.

What players say

Players enjoy the cute pixel art, emotional story, and clever puzzles but are split on the countdown timer, which some find more frustrating than fun. A few also note janky controls and a tricky gravity-swapping section near the end.
