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 challenging 2D platformer with colorful pixel art, dark fantasy setting, whimsical characters, and rewarding exploration.

What players say
Players praise the lore, boss design, and low-key atmosphere, but say the lack of controller support, absent map, wonky controls, and short music loops hurt exploration. Reviews split on whether the jank is charming or a flaw.
