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 pixel-art metroidvania where your allegiance to a god changes the paths and abilities available, encouraging repeated playthroughs with different outcomes.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle platforming and exploration, but split on the combat and bosses, which many find weak. Performance is solid, though the text on Steam Deck is small and some encountered bugs.
