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 short, chill adventure platformer with a deliberate pace, darkly humorous tone, and relaxing atmosphere that can be finished in one evening.

What players say

Players describe Simona's Requiem as a short, chill homage to Castlevania that is easy to finish in one sitting. The most common complaint is the protagonist's slow movement speed, which a dash upgrade only partly fixes. Opinions split on whether the relaxed pace is a feature or a flaw.
