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 vibrant, exploration-focused metroidvania where you traverse a sprawling castle, upgrade abilities, and uncover secrets through combat and platforming.

What players say
Players praise this as a charming, bite-sized metroidvania that takes about 30 to 60 minutes to finish, with some calling it good for speedrunning. Many find the price steep for its length and note the lack of control rebinding, especially the unusual default mapping of jump to X and attack to A on Xbox controllers.
