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 tense, atmospheric 2D cinematic platformer where you survive a hostile alien world through careful puzzle-solving, timing, and precision.

What players say

Players call this a beautiful but brutal classic with rotoscoped run-and-gun action. While many praise its cinematic atmosphere, they also warn about limited checkpoints and a difficulty that has driven players to quit for years before finally finishing.
