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 survival adventure where you navigate lush, threatening environments, paralyzing plants to solve puzzles rather than kill them.

What players say

Players praise the enemy-freezing mechanic and puzzle-platforming but split on whether it is a true metroidvania. Many report sluggish controls and input lag, with movement that feels slippery like ice. The game is short but tough, with some calling it a rage-inducing challenge.
