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 tense, unforgiving precision platformer where dark psychological themes and a relentless onslaught of heart-shaped enemies create a harrowing experience.

What players say
Players praise the tight controls and shadow mechanic, which force memorization. The game is hard but fair, with each level introducing a new mechanic. The story about heartbreak and depression connects directly to the developer's life, unlocked mainly at the end. Some find the poetry and cutscenes mediocre, and a few report minor bugs or uneven difficulty spikes.
