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 tense, methodical platformer where you explore a dark underground laboratory as a goldfish brain artificial human, unlocking abilities to overcome robotic security.

What players say

Players are split on Goldfish Brain. Some praise its art, music, and challenge, others criticize clunky controls, frustrating hitboxes, and a bad inventory system that makes healing in boss fights nearly impossible. The game is short, about 90 minutes for main story, with notes of poor English translation.
