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 stunningly beautiful and emotional action-platformer that feels like a delicate, challenging journey through a dying forest.

What players say

Players praise the stunning visuals, emotional story, and outstanding soundtrack, but opinions split on difficulty: many love the challenging platforming and addictive gameplay, while others find the combat basic and the controls imprecise. A few note the keyboard controls require manual rebinding outside the game.
