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 precision platformer where every jump and checkpoint placement carries weight, set in a bleak mechanical world with an excellent soundtrack.

What players say

Players say it is a tougher, more polished sequel to LOVE, with checkpoints and a time-slow ability that support speedrunning. Some note that LOVE 3 includes all of this game's content, while others find the difficulty spike too steep compared to the first game.
