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 challenging retro puzzle game where you carefully plan each move through maze-like labs, mixed with lighthearted characters and a funny, story-driven rescue adventure.

What players say
Players praise the challenging turn-based puzzles and retro DOS aesthetic, often comparing it to Chip's Challenge or Baba is You. The Fearofdark soundtrack and pixel art charm get consistent mention. A few find the difficulty curve uneven or the quality-of-life lacking, and some note early levels can frustrate before the game opens up.
