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

Navigating floating platforms and flipping gravity feels like a disorienting but methodical puzzle challenge aboard a quiet space station.

What players say

Players compare it to Portal and the 2006 Prey for its gravity-shifting puzzles. The voice acting gets laughs, often compared to Tommy Wiseau. Many find the gray visuals boring. The game is short, around 4 hours. Players split on the start: some say it is slow and requires more platforming than puzzling, while others enjoy the later puzzles. A few report the game does not launch.
