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 sweeping, story-driven platformer with fluid parkour, gentle combat, and a visually striking fairy-tale world to explore at your own pace.

What players say

Players are split on this reboot. Many praise the cel-shaded visuals and fluid parkour, but nearly everyone agrees the combat is simplistic and repetitive. The light seed collection is a common frustration, and several reviewers are upset that the story forces a choice at the end.
