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 frantic action platformer where you race against a countdown timer, with difficulty spiking into nightmare mode when time runs out.

What players say

Players say Necrolepsy is a short action-platformer with a satisfying parry and juggling combat system. They praise the soundtrack and humor, while some note the controls feel a bit floaty and the game ends quickly.
