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 slow, confusing puzzle platformer where you swap between alternate versions of yourself to change what you see and slowly unravel an existential meltdown.

What players say

Players describe a short puzzle platformer where you swap places with copies of yourself, a mechanic that keeps puzzles feeling fresh. It is clearly inspired by Braid and takes about one to two hours. Some find the narrative a bit rambling, and a few note the visuals are overly dark.
