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

This game feels like methodically unraveling an alien artifact's logic while immersed in a silent, enigmatic space station.

What players say

Players are divided on this puzzle game, calling it a decent Portal clone with a unique energy-swapping mechanic but simple, repetitive puzzles. It is short, around 4-6 hours, and the story is minimal with bad voice acting, though the visuals are praised.
