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
Traversing hand-tuned caverns as a curious woodland creature, each jump and climb demands precision in a dark but not punishing world.

What players say
Players praise Lantern Bearer as a short, cute precision platformer with snappy controls and a steep difficulty curve. Each of the 5 worlds introduces its own gimmick, but many note that the final levels spike sharply in difficulty and some find the controls slippery or the late-game levels tedious. A few report slowdowns and a bug with low darkness settings.
