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 crisp, minimalist puzzle game where you move through a series of strange, abstract rooms, relying on caution and observation to press a button while facing escalating risks.

What players say

Players describe a very short puzzle game where level difficulty is uneven, with some levels being too easy and a few annoyingly hard. There is disagreement on the ending, with one reviewer calling the last boss battle a frustrating difficulty spike.
