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 calm, contemplative adventure where you explore and solve poetic riddles as a ghostly monkey, with a focus on atmosphere rather than intensity.

What players say

Players describe Spooky Monkey as a meditative, exploration-focused metroidvania with light combat and puzzle solving. The tone is more mystical than scary, offering a peaceful world to wander. Controls on keyboard are noted as awkward, and combat is simple with a forgiving fail state.
