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 lonely and tense trek across a moonlit world where every step and skirmish matters.

What players say

Players describe Moon Runner as a short, atmospheric experience that blends Death Stranding-style delivery with moon exploration. Many enjoy the tight gameplay loop and graphics, but some find it repetitive and note tricky movement physics on slopes.
