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 feel your way through a silent, pitch-black factory, using the echo of each jump and crash to paint the world around you in brief, ghostly outlines.

What players say

Players praise the echo-location mechanic and puzzle design, but call the game a brief 30-minute demo with no save states and rough controls. There is no consensus on difficulty, some get stuck early, others cruise through.
