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.

A gentle, atmospheric puzzle adventure through a rainy forest and caves, with a calming soundtrack and a simple narrative.

What players say

Players praise the dimension-switching puzzle mechanic and atmospheric music, but split on difficulty and polish. Many note the developer abandoned the game shortly after release, and some report game-breaking bugs in the final level or frustratingly spaced save points.
