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 contemplative, hand-drawn shadow-puppet world with a pale ghost-light, where you explore moody ruins and interact with surreal puzzles to uncover a subdued, melancholy story.

What players say

Players describe Skaramazuzu as a short, fetch-quest-driven adventure with charming hand-drawn black-and-white art and a limbo-like story about identity. Many note the repetitive dialogue and grating gibberish voice acting, but find the creepy-cute characters and eerie atmosphere worthwhile. The puzzles are simple, and the game involves lots of backtracking.
