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, methodical climb through stylized environments where each careful step and fall teaches patience and precision.

What players say

Players say this precision platformer is brutally hard, with ladders that are notoriously unreliable. Some see it as a mental training tool or a perfect warm-up before a soulslike, while others joke that even Malenia is easier. A few reviews complain it feels like an alpha release with broken checkpoints.
