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

Two players work together through gentle puzzles and platforming, moving at a calm but methodical pace to collect diamonds and reach the exit.

What players say

Players call it a faithful port of the classic flash game, best for playing co-op through Remote Play Together. The achievement for the final level is bugged and has not been fixed for years. Levels are short but tight on time, demanding precise cooperation.
