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 contemplative and mysterious first-person puzzle game that challenges you to manipulate light and shadow to solve environmental puzzles.

What players say

Players enjoy the core loop of solving light and color puzzles across 24 levels, but many find the mouse and keyboard controls clumsy, especially for rotation. Some note that puzzles have a short solution but require a long walk to execute.
