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, dark fantasy platformer that blends cute pixel art with punishing combat and atmospheric exploration.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and beautiful pixel art, though some find spike traps and certain boss attacks unfairly punishing. It is a short, polished metroidvania that many recommend as a good starting point for the genre, but players split on whether the difficulty is fair or frustrating.
