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

You solve spatial puzzles by manipulating gravity in a quiet, abandoned space station, relying on wits rather than reflexes.

What players say

Players compare it to Portal and Q.U.B.E., with a gravity-manipulation gun at the center. They praise the puzzles but warn that timing sections require precision and the flashing lights can trigger seizures. Opinions split on whether the platforming is frustrating or fair, and the story is considered confusing.
