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 tense precision platformer where swapping level polarity creates careful, brain-teasing traversal.

What players say

Players praise the polarity-switching mechanic and the good ending, but note that late-game difficulty spikes, a soundtrack that grates, and minor bugs like oversize hitboxes or a controller that double-switches hold the game back.
