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

A methodical puzzle-platformer where you draw spells to solve mysteries and fight monsters in a foreboding, abandoned laboratory.

What players say

Players praise the unique spell-drawing mechanic and the dark, short narrative, but note the game is extremely brief, the puzzles are simple, and some find the combat bland or the aiming awkward. A few report minor glitches, though the game is free.
