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 methodical, atmospheric puzzle game where you explore ancient environments and solve logic puzzles by recording and replaying your actions through time clones.

What players say
Players compare Hourglass to The Talos Principle and Portal, but opinions split on whether that comparison is fair. Many find it a solid puzzle game with a creative time-cloning mechanic, though some call it a boring knock-off and a few puzzles demand punishing precision timing with no margin for error.
