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 precision-driven blend of puzzles and action that feels like a tense, minimalist dance of teleporting and planning in a dark fantasy world

What players say

Players praise the unique teleport-to-mouse-pointer mechanic and well-designed levels that reward precision and coordination. Many mention the game's speedrun appeal and satisfying challenge, though a few note that the attack can feel slightly inconsistent.
