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 tense, methodical puzzle-platformer where you guide a robot through dark underground traps that kill instantly, reloading at checkpoints.

What players say

Players compare it to Limbo but find it more focused on precision platforming with trial and error. The game is short at around two hours, and some note unforgiving checkpoints and hidden paths that must be found to progress. There is minor disagreement on difficulty, and a few highlight control or internet behavior concerns.
