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 disorienting puzzle game where you navigate a sleek but unsettling test facility by bending gravity to your line of sight.

What players say
Players praise the gravity-based puzzle concept but say clunky controls and lack of visual clarity hold it back. Many compare it to Portal, noting the programmer art and awkward sound design. The game is short, about an hour or two, and players are split on whether the jank is forgivable for the low price.
