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 short, meditative underwater puzzle-platformer where you manipulate water pillars through isolated, cavernous levels with no save system.

What players say

Players praise the unique water-current mechanic but consistently note the game is extremely short, finishing in under 20 minutes. Many wish it were longer and point out the lack of a save button, though they still recommend it as a quick, enjoyable experience.
