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 cute but challenging ghostly puzzle game where you must master dual inverse controls to navigate light and dark worlds.

What players say

Players praise the clever dual-character mechanic that inverts controls for the second ghost, calling it brain-bending but addictive. The difficulty ramps up nicely, and the level design keeps surprising without feeling unfair. Some note a slight roughness in the controls, but most find the challenge rewarding.
