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

You solve methodical steampunk puzzles as a self-aware experiment in a noir-tinted underground lab, with a darkly humorous tone and deliberate pacing.

What players say

Players say it is a short puzzle platformer that takes about an hour to finish its 32 levels. Controls cannot be rebound, though it works fine with an Xbox controller. The last level is noted as a difficulty spike. Some feel it leans more platformer than puzzler.
