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

Swapping between a gooey creature and a tough bounty hunter to solve puzzles and explore a spooky tower with a playful, darkly humorous tone.

What players say

Players enjoy the puzzle platforming built around swapping between two characters, set in diorama-style levels stuffed with collectibles. The game offers 12 to 30 hours of play for a low price, and runs on Linux via Proton, but some find the execution dull or get stuck in geometry.
