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

An isometric walk through a shadowy monochrome world where you solve deliberate light-based puzzles to a quiet, ambient soundtrack, feeling like an introspective exploration of darkness.

What players say

Players are split on the puzzle difficulty: some find them too simple and repetitive, while others enjoy the steady ramp-up. The art style creates a creepy yet not scary atmosphere, but a few reviewers report glitches that force level restarts.
