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 demanding retro-style action-puzzle game that requires precise simultaneous control of three characters with unique abilities.

What players say

Lost Bros is built around the novel demand of controlling three characters simultaneously with a single controller, and players agree it is extremely difficult and unforgiving. Some praise the fair challenge and rewarding progress, while others find the control scheme frustrating enough to ruin the experience. Many compare it favorably to The Lost Vikings.
