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, stealth-focused journey through a stylized underworld, where you sneak and avoid threats while unraveling a mythological narrative.

What players say

Players say Kore is a very short stealth game that takes about 20-30 minutes to finish, with good voice acting and frequent checkpoints but no manual save. Some praise it as a solid student project, while others criticize clunky movement, a story that deviates from the Persephone myth, and controversy over a Black protagonist in Greek mythology.
