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 challenging yet adorable precision platformer with a heartfelt story about friendship and romance set in a fantastical Japanese myth-inspired world.

What players say

Players compare Kitsune Tails to a lesbian Mario 3, but opinions split on the level design. Some find it fair and rewarding, others call it frustrating with unfair hazards. The game has two acts, and the second act introduces a forced replay of earlier levels with a different character, which some players criticize. The queer representation and art style are consistently praised.
