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 stripped-down, challenging 3D platformer that relies solely on precise jumping, with a quirky, minimalist feel and an emphasis on exploration and shortcuts.

What players say

Players are split on Super Lovely Planet. Series fans find the third-person controls stiff compared to the earlier first-person games, but those who adapt praise the speedrunning-friendly level design with intentional shortcuts and hidden routes. A-ranks require completing levels without getting hit, adding a puzzle-like precision.
