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 succinct puzzle-platformer where you control a robot head that must navigate clean levels using only its electric charge.

What players say

Players praise the clever puzzles built around a simple electricity mechanic, calling it a tight and satisfying experience that respects the player's intelligence. It is short at a few hours, with some finding the hidden collectibles too obscure.
