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 tight, precise platformer with a nostalgic feel where each jump and dodge demands focus, set in a quaint northern village with a quiet, hopeful story.

What players say

Players describe The Lost Cube as a basic but solid precision platformer with snappy controls and challenging level layouts. Many note the character slips off edges awkwardly, but levels are built for speedrunning. At 60 levels, some feel the game is too short for its full price, recommending a sale purchase instead.
