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 mix of deliberate combat and methodical exploration across two distinct worlds: one carefully designed and mysterious, the other procedurally shifting and hazardous.

What players say

Players say Rift Drifter is a fun but clearly unfinished early-access platformer with clunky combat and confusing level design. Reviews split on difficulty, with some calling it a hardcore game that punishes death harshly while others find the ramp-up manageable.
