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.

About

The Cursed Frog is a single-player puzzle-platformer with an enchanted twist: switch between a brave princess during the day and a cursed frog at night to overcome magical challenges in the heart of Witchwood forest. Solve environmental puzzles, avoid treacherous traps, and use each form’s unique abilities to forge a path through 30 carefully crafted levels. The day-night shift mechanic changes not only the scenery but also the gameplay: jump higher as the frog to reach hidden areas, or fight enemies as the princess with ranged attacks and agile dashes. Combine logic and reflexes to activate magic bridges, manipulate platforms, and discover secret routes in this ever-changing enchanted world. Each level brings new challenges that test your creativity and strategy.
