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 slow, contemplative puzzle game where you drag a heavy metal ball through dark, post-apocalyptic environments, using weight and physics to solve obstacles as you reflect on inner burdens.

What players say

Players praise the voice acting and clever puzzles, but consistently point out the game is very short at around 20 minutes. Some feel the price is acceptable, while others want more content. There are no updates or sequel since its 2024 release.
