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.

What players say

Players describe Stellar Rising as a one-button foddian game where you grab circles using inertia, but struggle with left-right control and tight exit collision that can drop you multiple screens. Opinions on difficulty are mixed: some find it fair with minimal falls, while others call it frustrating.
