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, tranquil search through monochrome scenes where you find skulls and paint the world with color to soothing music.

What players say

Players praise the dark fantasy artwork and how areas fill with color once cleared, but nearly everyone notes the game is very short, most finish in under 30 minutes. There is only one level, and the puzzles are not challenging.
