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 note that the game is not a true metroidvania but a linear platformer with challenging jumps and boss fights. The wall jumping is widely criticized as frustrating, and checkpoints feel too spread out. Controls are smooth on Steam Deck, and the pixel art style and dark fantasy atmosphere are praised, though the story is considered mediocre and some have ultrawide monitor issues.
