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 disorienting metroidvania with a rotating camera that makes exploration feel like a surreal, looping dream.

What players say

Players are split on KreisReise. Some praise its unique cylinder-based levels and call it a rewarding challenge for hardcore players, especially after the true ending. Others criticise what they see as fake difficulty, motion sickness from the rotating view, and a poorly designed second boss that feels like RNG.
