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 relentless 2D platformer that demands quick reflexes and careful movement as you explore a large, fog-shrouded manor full of secrets and dangerous creatures.

What players say

Players describe an enormous, old-school metroidvania that starts punishingly hard with instant-death spikes and tanky enemies, then opens into a vast castle with deep weapon upgrades. Some call it a hidden gem, while a few complain about grind and knockback frustrations. The solo developer is praised for being active and responsive.
