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 thoughtful and precise puzzle-platformer that feels like coordinating two separate flowing entities through vivid, lush landscapes.

What players say

Players praise the unique split-character mechanic that demands coordinated dual-stick control, calling it creative and brain-melting but rewarding. They agree the game is short, around 3 to 5 hours, and strictly linear rather than a metroidvania or action platformer.
