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 slow-burn puzzle adventure where you chip away at mysteries and tunnel through an underground world at your own pace, nudged by curiosity and a bluesy soundtrack.

What players say

Players praise the clever block-based puzzles and interconnected world, comparing it to Fez and Toki Tori 2, but warn that the giant map makes it easy to get lost and waste time retracing steps. The game is unplayable on non-US keyboards due to non-rebindable controls.
