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 methodical puzzle-platformer where tension builds as you race against a 10-second timer, using your past movements as shadowy guides.

What players say

Players praise the clever time-loop puzzles where each run leaves a ghost that helps in the next, calling the design genius and brain-bending. Many love the variety of mechanics introduced across chapters. However, several note that the platforming feels imprecise, making controls frustrating for a puzzle-focused game.
